Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Felix Da Housecat's Heavenly House Mix)

[DudeAsInCool]

"Sinner Man" or "Sinnerman" is an American traditional spiritual song that has been recorded by a number of performers. The song dates to the turn of the 20th century, but most modern recorded versions derive from 1959 changes and additions codified by the folk music group the Weavers.

The song is one of Nina Simone's most famous songs and she recorded her definitive 10-minute plus version on her 1965 album Pastel Blues. Simone's version of Sinnerman has been sampled by hip-hop producer Kanye West for the Talib Kweli song "Get By", by Timbaland for the song "Oh Timbaland", as well as Peter Tosh and The Wailers.

The song has also been featured in films, The Thomas Crowne Affair and Cellular.

Felix da Housecat version was recorded for Verve Record's "Verve Remixed" series. Here is an innovative animation mashup to go along with it , which is as good as the song!
