““Nina Nina Nina ! Did you hear that girl’s pipes? I’m AFRAID of that lady !”
— Patti LaBelle to her band after calling Nina onstage at Caesars, Altantic City. Nina sang "At Last" a'capella - and brought the house to a standing ovation.
“It’s a hard life, babygirl...(Patti continued to Nina) - but promise me you will never let anyone or anything get in your way.”
— Nina promised Patti; she never would.
“ In a land where hype without substance rules, Nina is the real thing,. You can’t fabricate the kind of pure, real soul that Nina brings to every song she sings. I’d compare her to other R&B or blues singers, but I honestly believe that Nina’s voice already ranks with the best in pop music today. I don’t rave often, but this is a truly amazing singer and performer. ” ......”
— Bob Smith, music critic - Good Times Magazine
