"Quando eu era jovem, nunca comprei registros porque meu irmão Joseph jogou saxofone e tinha um registrador. Eu adorava ouvir seus registros: os irmãos Dorsey, Duke Ellington, todas as grandes bandas de jazz americanas, e vocalistas como Ella Fitzgerald, Ernestine Anderson, e Kitty White, um cantor dos EUA que era amigo de Nina Simone. Ninguém na América parece saber sobre ela, mas ela era bastante popular na África do Sul."

--- Miriam Makeba

Versão em inglês

When I was young, I never bought records because my brother Joseph played saxophone and had a record player. I loved listening to his records: The Dorsey Brothers, Duke Ellington, all the big American jazz bands, and vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Ernestine Anderson, and Kitty White, a singer from the US who was a friend of Nina Simone. Nobody in America seems to know about her, but she was quite popular in South Africa.
