Three Men and a Tenor- "Big Bad John"

Three Men and a Tenor's powerful musical vocal version of the Jimmy Dean classic, "Big Bad John". Paul Cooper, the director of 3MT from 2000-2004 had the idea that the song would be much more powerful if you were to "sing" the words, instead of the way that Jimmy Dean spoke them. When it came time for 3MT to make the PBS-TV special for Detroit Public Television, this song had to be in the show!
