John E [29 Oct 01 - 10:11 AM]: "I know a "Oh Sinner Man" from the Bahamas. It has a liberation theme..."

When was it written?

Mudcat has just joined a very exclusive interwebs club for the search term "Mafundi Bahamia" (Swahili for artisans.) Nina Simon came to Nassau in the early '70s to do a benefit concert. It did not go well. Comes from not knowing your audience. Poor old Bert Cooper (her sponsor) didn't "do lunch" in Hollywood town for nearly two years after. I don't think it was safe to play this song in public again until Jamaican Peter Tosh's "Equal Rights" LP came out in '77.

Same as above, in Tosh's cover: sin = colonialism.
