Kim Hill talks to veteran music journalist Alan Light, former editor-in-chief for Vibe and Spin magazines, and author of books about Leonard Cohen, Prince, and the Beastie Boys.

His new biography was inspired by the recent Netflix documentary about singer Nina Simone, and has the same title: What Happened, Miss Simone?
