(Joe Hinton - You Know It Ain't Right)

LISTEN

Round two of the mod/ernist musical merry go round and this time it's courtesy of a relatively obscure vocalist by the name of Joe Hinton who up until 1958 had been a gospel singer but it was with this one, (recorded for Don Robey's Backbeat label in 1963), that he broke through. Going on to have a minor 'hit' with his version of Willie Nelson's 'Funny How Time Slips Away' the following year. Unfortunately his career was cut short in 1968 after losing a battle with Skin Cancer but for themusicologist he is, (almost), immortalised by this slice of the Mod/ernist pie.
