- jacquesm 6y agoYes. Her life story is really heartbreaking, wanting to become a classical pianist but being told that being black and playing classical music at the same time just wouldn't do. I'm of two minds on this - as I've written before on HN -, sad as it is that she did not follow her chosen path in the end it gave us her own material which to me is just as dear of not dearer. My all time favorite song is 'wild is the wind'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Gx0wYim8Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Gx0wYim8Y Amazing song, guaranteed to give me gooseflesh no matter how many times I've heard it.
