Ain't Got No, I Got Life
"Ain't Got No, I Got Life" is a 1968 single by American singer-songwriter Nina Simone, from her album '' 'Nuff Said''. It is a medley of two songs, "Ain't Got No" and "I Got Life", from the musical ''Hair'', with lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot. The combination of the two songs was rewritten by Simone to suit her purpose. The song peaked at number 2 in the UK and at number 1 in the Netherlands. It also charted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, where it reached number 94. The song helped Simone gain popularity under a new, younger audience, and became a standard in her repertoire. Assessment and performance Yale musicologist Daphne Brooks described the song as "a new black anthem" – a "wholly original" reimagining of the material to create a "trademark" racial protest song as powerful as Simone's earlier "Mississippi Goddam" and " Four Women".

Black Gold (Nina Simone Album)
''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's cover of "Don't Play That Song". The album is especially notable because it features the civil rights anthem song " To Be Young, Gifted and Black". The performance that night also included a calypso version of Leonard Cohen's " Suzanne" (which Simone had recorded on '' To Love Somebody''), but there was no room for it on the album. With the release of the album also came an LP called ''Come Together with Nina Simone''. It was a recorded interview about the album. The questions were provided in written form, so that radio DJs could ask the questions and play Simone's recorded answers, as if she were in the studio.

Television Advertising
A television advertisement (also called a commercial, spot, break, advert, or ad) is a span of television programming produced and paid for by an organization. It conveys a message promoting, and aiming to market, a product, service or idea. Advertisers and marketers may refer to television commercials as TVCs. Advertising revenue provides a significant portion of the funding for most privately owned television networks. During the 2010s, the number of commercials has grown steadily, though the length of each commercial has diminished. Advertisements of this type have promoted a wide variety of goods, services, and ideas ever since the early days of the history of television. The viewership of television programming, as measured by companies such as Nielsen Media Research in the United States, or BARB in the UK, is often used as a metric for television advertisement placement, and consequently, for the rates which broadcasters charge to advertisers to air within a given netw ...
