Nina Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon on February 21st, 1933, in Tryon, North Carolina. Her mother, Mary Kate Irvin, was a Methodist preacher and housekeeper, and her father, John Divine Waymon, worked as an entertainer, barber, and dry-cleaner. The family’s home was filled with music and Simone’s mother encouraged her musical pursuits but she did not approve of nonreligious music like blues and jazz. Simone took up the piano before her feet could reach the pedals, and by the age of six, she was playing during church services.
In 2008, Rolling Stone named Simone to its list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, and, in 2018, Simone was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque a cláusula “before her feet could reach the pedals” não é uma cláusula independente, mas sim uma cláusula subordinada adverbial. Ela depende da cláusula principal para ter sentido completo, já que indica uma condição temporal relacionada à ação de Simone de começar a tocar piano. Cláusulas independentes podem funcionar sozinhas como frases completas, enquanto cláusulas subordinadas não podem.
