15. Here are some of their best known songs:
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 09:24 PM by TroubleMan
Barrington Levy:

Here I Come (Broader Than Broadway)
Under Mi Sensi
Murderer
Too Experienced
Shine Eyed Girl
Collie Weed
Black Roses
Be Strong


Carlton Livingston:

Trodding Through The Jungle
100 Weight of Collie Weed
Itch It Up Operator
Maria
Rumors

.....

Carlton Livingston is very obscure, but very good. Barrington Levy is one of the most famous reggae and dancehall singers of the 80's and 90's (he has a style similar to the old roots but his beats usually are early dancehall, but some are rocksteady, ska, and roots).

Or do your dub and roots songs sound more like U Roy or the Studio One albums...maybe Lee Scratch Perry or like Ken Booth?

Or do you do stuff like The Mighty Diamonds, Burning Spear, or Black Uhuru? (they all have a similar style to Marley)?

Al Green should be self explanatory.

If you provide a list of songs you do (or if you don't know the names, some of the lyrics), I probably can name a lot of them.

Sorry about all the questions, but I never get to have a good reggae discussion with anybody.:(
