New York City's Freddy Ellis and his Orchestra were first to record "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie" (Billy Mayhew) in 1936. This is edited to include the vocal of Seymour Richards.

Somethin' Smith and the Redheads (Red Robinson, Saul Striks and Major Short) took "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie" to the number seven position in 1955.
