"Cuz I'm not gonna beg ya baby"

[@antonboludo8886]

She is a perfectionist even when she asks the audience to participate, lol.

[@cocosteel1526]

My favorite part is when she says, Wiggle, wiggle purr like a cat. Wink at a man, then he wink back. The People Movers do a great house version of this masterpiece song.

[@claychowder]

My favorite is the start when Nina says: "because I'm not going to beg you baby...." and of course, rhythms at the end

[@khanbibi]

I can't believe many people is not singing at all. I would be singing out loud and probably dancing with Nina.

[@sadimanesadimane6746]

[@antonboludo8886]

She did not want them too unless they really know how to sing or dance, lol.

I made a joke in my music class when we were learning about jazz. "I don't know much about jazz, but I nina simone, and she's a See Line Woman!"

[@ayobamidele]

Such a charismatic performer, strong vocalist and the band cook up a rocking groove on this. The crowd caught on eventually.

[@keithchanner]

Love it when she turns her back on the audience and starts dancin ! she was quite a diva met her around this time when i was appearing one night at the La Mamounia a plush hotel one of the most prestigious in the region in Marrakech Morocco (Jimmy Stewarts classic movie "Man Who Knew Too Much" was filmed there which costarred Doris Day) and had the privilege of performing and hangin out with her and she kept telling everybody that ""she is a star"

[@FrankMalaba]

You were truly blessed. What an incredible soul.

[@ungradphysmath7438]

[@sphe4047]

Bet the dislikes are for the boring crowd FR!

[@edwardmokoena5998]

Yes

[@saxupyourlife8607]

I very much enjoyed this, it brings back memories. I performed this in an all female band, I thought it was written by the band leader, had no idea how old it was and that the great Nina Simone sang it many years before.

[@themurderguns7973]

Astonishing. She never ceases to amaze me.

[@catalinmichael3576]

The name of the song is 'Sealine woman' !! 'Nina’s “Sealine Woman” is a 19th century seaport song about sailors and prostitutes. The sailors would come into port (Charleston or New Orleans perhaps). Women of the pleasure quarters would be waiting, lined up dockside. Their dress c0lors signified the specific delights they offered. That is what the song is really about. Nina sang it many different ways, often changing the lyrics. Here are most of them. It’s a slippery thing, this song; the lyrics and song title always change according to who you ask. “Sealine Woman” - Nina Simone, 1964 Sealine woman, she drink coffee she drink tea and then go home Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in green wears silk stockings with golden seams Sealine woman, dressed in brown watch out fellas, she’s gonna get down Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in red make a man lose his head (or wears a rag upon her head) Sealine woman, sealine woman black dress on, for a thousand dollars she wail and she moan (variant) sealine woman, dressed in black sleep all day, on her back Sealine woman, wiggle wiggle turn like a cat, wink at a man and he wink back Now child, sealine woman empty his pockets and wreck his days make him love her, and she’ll fly away sealine woman, dressed in white stay up all day, ball all night, SSealine Woman” - Nina Simone, 1964 Sealine woman, she drink coffee she drink tea and then go home Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in green wears silk stockings with golden seams Sealine woman, dressed in brown watch out fellas, she’s gonna get down Sealine woman, sealine woman, dressed in red make a man lose his head (or wears a rag upon her head) Sealine woman, sealine woman black dress on, for a thousand dollars she wail and she moan (variant) sealine woman, dressed in black sleep all day, on her back Sealine woman, wiggle wiggle turn like a cat, wink at a man and he wink back Now child, sealine woman empty his pockets and wreck his days make him love her, and she’ll fly away sealine woman, dressed in white stay up all day, ball all night Sealine woman, dressed in yellow watch out girl, gonna steal your fellow.' - Music News" The real meaning of NinavSimone's Classic song, 'Sealine Woman'

[@tedthesailor172]

This was used as theme/incidental music in a John Travolta movie. I think it was `The General's Daughter'...
