It's No Sin - 3 versions. Four Aces, Eddy Howard, Duprees

In 1951 it charted for 6 different performers. Eddy Howard's was #1 for 8 weeks. The Four Aces were second with a #4 position, their first hit.
The writers were George Hoven and Chester Shull.
The proper title is "Sin", or "(It's No) Sin".

1) Eddy Howard
2) Four Aces
3) The Duprees - a small #74 hit in 1964, following Have You Heard. This one never gets included on hits compilations.

This Four Aces version is not the original, but a rerecording when they joined Decca. Found on their Shufflin Along LP and the 1974 MCA hits album. It's one exception where the rerecording is superor to the original. Current CDs include the original.
Eddy Howard sang thruout the 1940s into the 50s.

Aw man...that's not the original Four Aces version. Nice try though.

I wanted to show this one. Don't you think it's better?

[GSilverWorld]

I believe their original version is on their current Hits collections, regardless of label. That's the only one available now.

Interesting comparison of 1940s Howard and 1950s Aces. Howard is one 40s singer I can enjoy, altho in the 50s he was starting to lose his touch. Music was not as perfectionist before and after the 50s and early 60s.

If you have Windows Movie Maker and just one photo, use wma with it, you have a music video.

There's a really great 60s style cover of this song by Larry Cartell in the terrible movie "Girl in Gold Boots". Sadly it doesn't seem to have been released anywhere.

Super compilation! Thank you so much.

I like how you took the different versions and put them in one video. I am researching music from 1951. Considering I have never heard the song until now, I could not tell you which version was better. So you saved me time! Thank!!

I suppose I like the Four Aces version best because it is the one I grew up with, but all perform a very pretty song.

On this song, Eddie Howard Rules.

I remember this song from the late 40s I think when I was 12 or 13. In San Diego. Jr. HIgh School.

I like the Eddie Howard version along with the 4 Aces version

[quiksilver1238]

Duprees version is the best- with Joey Vann on lead.

The original Four Aces version was on an "indie" label, Victoria. Since recordings on indie labels took longer to get on the charts than did those from major labels, it is likely that the Aces original was recorded significantly before Howard's was.
