Sinner Man (original) - Les Baxter 1956.wmv

First recording by Les Baxter Orchestra featuring Will Holt & Chorus of 'Sinner Man' (Baxter/Holt), possibly better known through later versions by The Weavers (1959), Nina Simone (1964) and Peter Tosh (1966/1971/1977), among many others.

The song is clearly adapted from the 1954 gospel tune 'On Judgement Day' (Peacock 1743) by The Sensational Nightingales. (Thanks to Minstrelcraft for the tip).
