Gamblin' Man was a 1957 hit 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 and reached #1 in the UK charts in June and July 1957, where it spent two weeks in this position. 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. Both songs were written by Woody Guthrie and Donegan, and produced by Alan Freeman and Michael Barclay.
