Has there ever been a better pop song than "My Boy Lollipop" by Millie Small? Still immensely popular, everyone knows the words, great to dance to, great mouth organ solo. Fabulous.

You’re nicked, get in the back” I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the band. The lyrics summed up the attitude of the police at the time with endless spot checks and nicking people for nothing.

Not a great reggae fan but remember Steel Pulse supporting The Steve Gibbons Band at Brum Town Hall (77/8?) - great show, particularly when they all hot on stage for the final encore.

My first ever concert was seeing Steel Pulse support Steve Gibbons Band at the open air amphitheatre at Cannon Hill Park. Favourite reggae tracks Double Barrell - Dave and Ansell Collins Pied Piper - Bob and Marcia Stir it up - Wailers Johnny Was - Bob Marley Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff If I Can't Have You - Gregory Issaacs Herbnan Hustling - Sugar Minnott Man Twice My Age - Shabba Ranks Welcome to Jam Rock - Damian Marley Two Sevens Clash - Culture King - UB40 Earth Dies Screaming - UB40 Jogging - Freddie McGregor Although lots of reggae afficandos would turn their nose up at them, the first UB40 album was great. Started playing it a lot recently and it sounds spot on, the production by Bob Lamb (Steve Gibbon's drummer iirc) was fantastic. Also Steel Pulse album Handsworth Revolution brings back many memories. Forgot to mention General Saint and Clint Eastwood - Stop that Train and the Peter Tosh track of the same name is very good as well. |
