You are thinking of Nena the pop star. Nina Simone was a jazz musician that peformed, "Love Me or Leave Me," "Mississippi Goddamn," "I Put a Spell On You," and, "Lilac Wine" (covered by Jeff Buckley). You really ought to check out some of her music: its timeless.

This is especially strange considering I have "i put a spell on you..." written in my AIM profile.

I have a couple of her CD's. I can't count the number of evenings where it was just me, Nina on the stereo, and a couple of gin and tonics. Great, great jazz musician.
