I had forgotten about Nina's version of Mr. Bojangles. It's a nice ballad. My family is baptists and holy-rollers [[pentecostals) so I like the noisy stuff with lots of handclapping and tambourines shaking and rattling. That's why I like Nina's version of Real.
Here is a link to one of my favorite images of her. Her hair makes a statement.

I'm glad that the Nina biopic didn't take place in the format suggested in that link!

When Nina cried I went into a deep depression for days. I want this played at my funeral :)
