Sea Line Woman. Black Prostitutes lining the docks for sailors as they come in. Immortalized by a short recording by the Shipp sisters in 1939, now in the library of Congress,, but a song passed down orally and morphed into a song sung by children, Sea Lion Woman. To date, no one has surpassed the simple purity of the Shipp sisters rendition which was brilliantly grafted into the introduction of the film The Generals Daughter. While the subject matter is adult, the song still should be sung with innocence, something that modern performers seem to lack. .
Really good, love her voice and the expression she gives every word....
Thanks a bunch for this. 💚
