Just LOVE Bon Marley
I have bought ‘ Legend’ three times as it has been stolen twice .
Apparently the most stolen CD ( yes I still have CDs )
Great album Muddy, make sure you lock it up or better still make a copy and put the original away.
Perhaps one of Marley’s finest songs - certainly one of my favourites.
Redemption Song
Hot summers in the 70’s.
Another from Brum before they sold their soul.
And the dub version:
Been to a couple of Handsworth Blues Parties, was always strange why Reggae was thumping out at a Blues Party.
Yes we Brits had a go at singing a bit of Reggae here’s the best we could come up with, (Johnathon King the comedian of pop)
Nah just kidding we did not do to bad Madness/UB40 and a few Northern Soul groups were decent.
I personally think we did not treat Reggae with the respect it deserved like the Jamaicans did.
Our groups was more about creating a beat.
Theirs was to enjoy the music and sing it from the heart.
I miss Bob Marley and those carefree funky days: summers were long, the spliffs were big and the beat went on.
