Trinidad "Trini" López III (born May 15, 1937) is an American singer, guitarist, and actor. He was born in Dallas, Texas, and grew up on Ashland Street in the Little Mexico neighborhood.
Family Life
Trini Lopez is the son of Trinidad Lopez II (who was a singer, dancer, actor, and musician in Mexico) and Petra Gonzalez who moved to Dallas, Texas, from Mexico. Lopez has four sisters (two are deceased) and a brother. He attended grammar school and N. R. Crozier Tech High School in Dallas, and had to drop out of High School in his senior year because his father needed his financial support.
Career
Lopez formed his first band in Wichita Falls, Texas, at the age of 15. In 1958, at the recommendation of Buddy Holly, Trini and his group "The Big Beats" went to producer Norman Petty in Clovis, New Mexico. Petty secured them to a contract with Columbia Records, which released the single "Clark's Expedition"/"Big Boy", both instrumental. Lopez left the group and made his first solo recording, his own composition "The Right To Rock", for the Dallas-based Volk Records, and then signed with King Records in 1959, recording more than a dozen singles for that label, none of which charted. In late 1962, after the King contract expired, Lopez followed up on an offer by producer Snuff Garrett to join the post-Holly Crickets as vocalist. After a few weeks of auditions in Los Angeles, that idea did not go through. He landed a steady engagement at the nightclub PJ's, where his audience grew quickly. He was heard there by Frank Sinatra, who had started his own label, Reprise Records, and who subsequently signed Lopez.

Sinner Man
by: Trini LopezChorus:
Sinner man, has a reputation
Sinner man, known throughout the nation
Sinner man, that's his occupation
Yes, he's a sinner man!
There was a sinner man, who loved and ran away
He had a different girl, for every single day
He used to tell them lies, and alibis
He'd just pretend, and in the end
He'd leave 'em there, he didn't care
Because he was a sinner man! Ha, Ha!
Repeat Chorus
And then he met a girl, as pretty as could be
He thought he'd break her heart, as quick as one-two-three
He didn't realize, her flashing eyes, would hypnotize, did she surprise him
Could she be the girl who stole, the heart of a sinner man? Ha, Ha!
Repeat Chorus
The wedding day is planned, we're happy as can be
The pretty girl was you, the sinner man was me
La-la, la-la, la-la (repeat 4 times)
