It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie

“It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie” was written in 1936 by Billy Mayhew. The song became famous almost immediately thanks to Fats Waller’s lively recording, which turned it into a jazz standard. Over the decades, it has been covered by countless artists including Billie Holiday, Slim Whitman, and Tony Bennett, each bringing their own spin to its bittersweet message about love and honesty. Here, Jason Paul performs “It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie” in his own stripped-down style, highlighting the timeless melody and spirit of this classic from the Great American Songbook.
