I don’t know what happened but I missed this list, perhaps because I expect it to pop up on Fridays; I have been listening to some today, Bob Marley of course first…
Very interesting, and like Viv, many singers are unknown to me…Different and enjoyable

It was ready earlier, but Therese is so busy it sometimes has to wait and that’s fine. It’s good to see him with a solid workload.
I had to throw the Marley et al in otherwise most would have been lucky to have heard more than one or two of these.

New to me. Will have to have a listen. Fascinating collection. Know the tunes but not the singers.

That’s was what I found. All these well known tunes but hadn’t heard of most of the singers. There were many others like this but the clips didn’t do the tunes justice.

Unfortunately I often have difficulty (as in I usually can’t) getting on to YouTube. Haven’t had a listen. I was keen to hear the Bridge Over Troubled Waters one. When I was in Greece last century there was a fab version of it there. And other S & G song, the name of which escapes me at the moment – ah, just remember = Cecelia – you’re breaking my heart.

Wow – I bought one of their Albums and used to dance to it naked ! Record player is stuffed so haven’t heard it for quite a long time.

Woopee – I did some fiddling to sort out this darn problem I’ve had with playing YouTube or some other videos. Have added a Firefox add-on which apparently also allows me to download and keep a copy of these videos. It worked. A relief. Had this remaining problem since I got Windows 7 and wound up with useless IE and went to Chrome and then to Firefox.

Ken Boothe’s voice reminds me of The Platters. The Cables Bridge Over Troubled Waters is real smooth and pretty. This is quite an historical line-up you have selected for reggae here, Algae.

But most didn’t start as reggee tunes just covered by reggee singers. I thought it might make a nice change.

Dem belly full but dem hungry, an hungry man is an angry man.
I was there at the Pavlova in 1979, stoned out of my gourd, eventually everyone was up and dancing and swaying. I have often thought that that show was one of the best nights of my life and while I was only mildly interested before the show, I won the tickets on Double Jay as I recall, I’ve been a reggae and ska tragic ever since, particularly dub reggae and the more echo and reverb the better! Any band with front line is cool, any band with a front line with more troms than trumpets is uber cool. I’ll fight the one that says otherwise.

Ah Googlehoover, Therese and I are fans of Ska as well as Reggae. The Pavlova been to many concerts to remember (or forget) there. Algernonia the younger is off there tonight to see “A day to remember”, pop punk amongst other things. Guess whose off to pick her up afterwards. The friend she’s going with thinks its cool that Mrs A had heard of wait for it Alice Cooper.
I went to see Bob Dylan at the showground a couple of years before. It was on after the Show and about a foot of rain Bit like herding cattle trying to get out afterwards. Of course the mate and I came out stoned ourselves from that and we weren’t partaking though everyone around us was.
