Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in Tryon, North Carolina, one of eight children. Like a number of other African-American singers, she was inspired as a child by Marian Anderson and began singing at her local church, also showing prodigious talent as a pianist. Her public debut, a piano recital, was made at the age of ten. Her parents, who had taken seats in the front row, were forced to move to the back of the hall to make way for some white people. This incident contributed to her later involvement in the civil rights movement.

Day & Night Lyrics
Nina Simone
Rudy stevenson
When you like a fellow
Try to treat him right
Give him your attention
Day and night
When he starts to smilin
And hes got you uptight
Shower him with kisses
Day and night
Tell him how you love him
Tell him hes out of sight
Then hell know you dig him
Day and night
If he wants to leave you
And you think he might
Beg him not to leave you
Day and night
Tell him that youre lonely
Tell him that youre cold
Tell him that you need him
Here to (satisfy your soul)
If he likes to dance now
Tell you what you do
When you see him comin down the street
You start to (do the bungaloo)
Oh no, even when hes wrong
Tell him that hes righr
You can take the blame
Both day and night
