THe Tennors - I've got to get you off my mind

Great rocksteady tune

[Atila Reincarnate]

Carlton and his shades - Love me forever

[Ladymuck]

Couldn't get that last one to work Atila.

Anyway..in the meantime...something different...another Prince Jazzbo fave of mine...despite not being comfortable with the N-word in that tune...I still love that beat and Jazzbo's voice:

[CasaJarapa]

Talking about lyrics: Mi God, Mi King - Papa Levi:

badda dan di bite from a tarantula...!

[Ladymuck]

CasaJarapa that was dread! Right up my street.

Howsabout some strictly rub-a-dub with Mikey Dread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyovGPSYbIc&feature=related

[CasaJarapa]

And this one: www.youtube.com - Lover's Corner, General Echo. Always brings a smile to my face!

Ahhh, that was nice - very mellow!

[Ladymuck]

Thanks for that...General Echo was one of my faves (when I was young!). Now, you said he always brings a smile to your face...well...this next tune by Buju Banton always makes me laugh my head off...all for the wrong reasons mind...personally, I think his voice is atrocious...but, perversely...it makes this tune very listenable! Strange...see what you think:

[Ladymuck]

Sorry...here's a longer clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf_rzbF5vrE&NR=1

[CasaJarapa]

Interesting video! (the first one). Made me wonder what had happened to old Buju so I googled him: http://www.gargamelmusic.com/

[Ladymuck]

*pissing myself laughing*

His voice hasn't improved over the years! But he's still very entertaining...and he makes me laugh...so who cares eh?

*goes off to find something a bit more classic...i.e. nice voice...ah, I know just the thing...*

[Ladymuck]

Got it! If I smoked, even I would light up a spliff to this one...

*deep sigh of satisfaction* : The Mighty Diamonds - Pass The Kutchie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOypr3N7SFo

[CasaJarapa]

If it's a nice voice you're after:

- Gregory Isaacs, Loving Pauper. And what lyrics! *swoons*

Ahhh, lovely! Me too! Here's another one with a gorgeous voice and melodies: Prince Lincoln www.youtube.com

[Ladymuck]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Now you've got me into Gregory Isaacs mood. This has to be one of his best...I've posted it on this thread before...but I don't think anyone will mind if I post it again...it's an absolute classic...and...oh yes...that voice...

Night Nurse:

*looks at clock and thinks...really must go and cook dinner!*

[CasaJarapa]

Yes!!!! And yes, I think me tofu may have defrosted by now so time for my supper, too. Later!

Ha ha! Got tofu tomorrow, stir-fried with chilli, garlic, onions, peppers, beansprouts, mushrooms, ginger and noodles. Mmmm...with Gregory in the background...yum.

Bon Apetit!

[CasaJarapa]

Hah! One last one:

- Police and Thieves, Junior Murvin version.

Bon Apetit to you too! Enjoy.

[Ladymuck]

EXCELLENT!

Hadn't heard that one for years! Thank you. Right...back to dinner, before hubby files for divorce!

Oh...just one teeny one more...again from those Mighty Gems (I do love them): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC7CatrXWUs&feature=related.

Enjoy back!

PS: you realise we have a serious addiction here... (*big giggle*)

[CasaJarapa]

Oooh... that was lovely, lovely, lovely! This is a gooood addiction!

[Jah Lush]

I still have my original copy of this glorious 45 from '69.

[TillieTrotter]

Love it Jah. I can see my mum skanking around the living room in my mind's eye.

[Jah Lush]

Your Mum? Are you trying to make feel old? Thanks Tillie. x

[Jah Lush]

Another classic from my youth.
