To Be Young, Gifted and Black" is a song by Nina Simone with lyrics by Weldon Irvine. It was written in memory of Simone's late friend Lorraine Hansberry, author of the play A Raisin in the Sun, who had died in 1965 aged 34. The song was originally recorded and released by Simone in 1969. The song was also featured on her 1970 album Black Gold and was considered an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Released as a single, it peaked at number eight on the R&B chart and number 76 on the Hot 100.
Album Black Gold (1970). Nina Simone (born Eunice Kathleen Waymon; February 21, 1933 †April 21, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, and activist in the Civil Rights Movement. Her music spanned a broad range of musical styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop. Simone's musical style fused gospel and pop with classical music, in particular Johann Sebastian Bach, and accompanied expressive, jazz-like singing in her contralto voice. Young, gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you This is a quest that's just begun. When you feel really low Yeah, there's a great truth you should know When you're young, gifted and black Your soul's intact. Young, gifted and black How I long to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth.
Black Gold is a live album by American jazz musician Nina Simone recorded in 1969 at the Philharmonic Hall, New York City. She got a 1971 nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, but lost to Aretha Franklin. The album is especially notable because it features the civil rights anthem song "To Be Young, Gifted and Black"
You are young, gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you Yours is a quest that's just begun. When you're feeling really low Yeah, there's a great truth that you should know When you're young, gifted and black Your soul's intact. How to be young, gifted and black Oh how I long to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth. Oh but my joy of today Is that we can all be proud to say To be young, gifted and black Is where it's at Is where it's at Is where it's at. More on Genius
