The wedding will take place in the Spring.” The next year Eunice Waymon took the stage name Nina Simone. This relationship and engagement is not mentioned directly in Simone’s autobiography, but is mentioned in passing in Alan Light’s recent biography of Simone: “This period also saw her begin her first lengthy relationship since Edney Whiteside, with a man she met in church. ‘I was near my family. I was studying music. I had a boyfriend, and I had a storefront [for private piano lessons]. So that was a pretty normal existence.”110
