BBC News: "Legendary jazz and blues singer Nina Simone [who's smoky voice soared in civil rights songs and interpretations of gospel, ballads and George Gershwin], has died at the age of 70 at her home in southern France, her agent has announced.

Simone was one of the last divas of jazz, was considered one of the finest songwriters and musicians of her day, and was a staunch supporter of the American black civil rights movement. She was perhaps best known for the famous single My Baby Just Cares For Me, a song which became one of the most popular and most listened to singles in the 20th Century."
