ABOUT THE RECORD Sinner Man or Sinnerman is an African American traditional spiritual song that has been recorded by a number of performers and has been incorporated in many other of the media and arts. The lyrics describe a sinner attempting to hide from divine justice on Judgment Day. It was recorded in the 1950s by Les Baxter, the Swan Silvertones, the Weavers and others, before Nina Simone recorded an extended version in 1965. Sinnerman (spelled as one word) 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 learned the lyrics of this English song in her childhood when it was used at revival meetings by her mother, a Methodist minister, to help people confess their sins. In the early days of her career during the early sixties, when she was heavily involved in the Greenwich Village scene, Simone often used the long piece to end her live performances. An earlier version of the song exists, recorded live at The Village Gate, but was not used on the 1962 Colpix album Nina at the Village Gate. Simone's version of Sinnerman has been sampled by Kanye West for the Talib Kweli song Get By, by Timbaland for the song Oh Timbaland, and by Felix da Housecat for Verve Record's "Verve Remixed series. It has also been covered by 16 Horsepower on their album Folklore, and by Zegota on their self-titled single. French rapper Abd al-Malik sampled Simone's version for the title track of his 2006 album Gibraltar. He also sampled Simone's version of See Line Woman for the track Le grand frère from the same album. This version of the song is referenced on the 2018 Hozier track and EP Nina Cried Power. Simone's Sinnerman has also been featured in various films and commercials, including the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.
