Gamblin' Man

"Gamblin' Man" was a 1957 hit single for skiffle artist Lonnie Donegan. It was recorded live at the London Palladium and released as a double A side along with "Puttin' On the Style".[1] It reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in June and July 1957, where it spent two weeks in this position.[2] This was the last UK number 1 to be released on 78 rpm format only, as 7' vinyl had become the norm by this time. The original Pye Nixa does not exist on 7" format.

"Gamblin' Man" was written by Woody Guthrie and Donegan, and produced by Alan Freeman and Michael Barclay.[1]
