Dennis Brown 1st release as a 12yr old , originally recorded by the Van Dykes and still popular on the LA lowrider scene ... Coxsone later stretched it onto a 12" disco cut of much excellence ...!😎!.
Not bad but a hard listen, a song that belongs to one singer imho - there's very few that get that accolade - imagine someone else singing Redemption Song?🤔.
Linking Johnny Clarke ...
1974 the first time I heard him was on this recording , also the new ' flying cymbal ' sound and as country boy at the time - what was Babylon referring too?
Anybody else read Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley?.
Fascinating writing about the very early days of Sound Systems....
ever wondered what got played back then?.
this rarity comes from 1952 iirc, and works well in a Ska /Boss set, later versioned by Delroy Wilson as ' Drink Wine Everybody ' ,
