Then who are some other good black artists (can be current) that are like Nina?

Why do they need to be like Nina? What makes Nina so special?

Joanna Newsom's got my vote, though Ella and Nina are both up there, good choices

Idk. I think Pat Benatar or Heart probably beats them. Or maybe even Carole King.
