BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Name that Song

Does anyone know the name of the song that's played over the montage scene - immediately after the part where they watch the CCTV video of Moriarty smashing up the glass of the Crown Jewels...?

The BBC have just started using it in an ad campaign for something and the other night I heard it and literally flipped out thinking someone had put Sherlock on. I was like, "What was that?" "Just some advert." "Did it have Moriarty on?" "Err...what?"

You mean Sinnerman by nina simone?

I'd assume it's grown quite a following of late.

This song was used in the Pierce Brosnan version of The Thomas Crown Affair. I used to love it back then and listened to it over and over. For those that have seen it, the song was used towards the end of the movie when Thomas Crown returns to the museum. Great scene and great song.

That's the song alright. Posted about it in the slot about soundtrack a while back. Is it the Nina Simone version they have used? It's just so apt.

She recorded that in 1965. I was 2 years old so no I DON'T remember it , lol!
(ok, stop checking that fact on your calculators!)

Peter Tosh also recorded it, I might check that out.
As did the Von Trapp singers(!!!???) hmmmm

It's been used a whole HEAP of films & TV shows, can't imagine why I've never heard it before.
