Sinnerman
~ Song
Annotation
versions with distinctly different melodies:
"Oh Sinner Man" - Bob Gibson version (c. 1956?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzjosdmcH0I (from Live at Cornell 1957)
"Sinner Man" - Les Baxter/Will Holt version (1956): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZWlE502g_4
"Sinnerman" - Nina Simone version (1965): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbIG_b2IMO0
side-notes:
Nina Simone's version sounds more reminiscent of Bob Gibson's than the Baxter/Holt version does; the latter is the most different.
Bob Marley's reggae version (or for that matter, Pete Tosh's) is also similar to Bob Gibson's if you listen to the chords. Mimi Maura's reggae-ish recordings seem to be based off it.
