My goal is to post all of my favorites which can't be found on youtube on this channel! ..usually the posts will be reggae, dub, funk and soul! ..since those are the genres people seem to forget these days.
Zap Pow - Holdin' on
Behold another "hidden" gem, I couldn't find it on youtube so.. here it is! The song is from the "Revolutionary Zap Pow" album released in 1971 on the Harry J label. If you like this song I highly recommend the entire album! Legal disclaimer: I do not own the rights to this song or anything associated to it. I just want people to listen and enjoy, uploaded under fair use.

hey people, let's get the formalities out of the way.. i don't have any rights to the song or anything associated to the song. I just love the band and want to give them more listeners.. besides, this song should be on youtube :) The first part of the song is probably some of the best melody i've heard this decade, enjoy :D
Barrington Levy - Moonlight Lover
Переглядів 97 тис.14 років тому
This is the digital remastered version of Barrington Levy's "Moonlight Lover". Not the crappy 1986 version, but the real deal, the 1979 version (remastered 2006). Loads of credit to pablo for posting the original tune on youtubes, you're a great guy for posting, but this one is a little bit different so here you go guys. The album is Shaolin Temple, the man is Barrington Levy, and the message i...

Joe Gibbs All Stars - Hijacked
Переглядів 18 тис.15 років тому
Here's another great (but hidden) gem, it's the Joe Gibbs All Stars with the awesome song "Hijacked". As you can hear this song is at the border between ska and reaggae, maybe ska.. but Joe Gibbs was known for his reggae so i'll tag this reggae! ..or both! Btw, sorry for posting this song, i know there's another version out there on youtube. I love the vinyl sound, but i had the cd.. and i just...
Joe Gibbs - If I Had A Hammer
Переглядів 23 тис.15 років тому
This is a reggae version of the well known song If I Had A Hammer (duh). Joe Gibbs made this song early in his reggae carreer, and the song can be found in the album; "Joe Gibbs Scorchers From The Early Years". The song has a "classic ska sound" so enjoy this classic gem, make peace and unite.

I like your description Pierre! Thank you for song and your existense.
I was just about 13 years old when I first heard this song It is so so applicable for these days we are living in.
Sounds Funk music!!
Muy buena música
Last of what I call the "experimental era" before one drop reggae took over. All of a sudden, we couldn't make anything else
...and classic dub! Wicked indeed
I first heard this song about 15 years ago and thought then how true it is. I’m 75 years old and think is an appropriate song for the times our country is in now. A beautiful and poignant song. Just love it.
It’s as relevant today as the fortunate day that she recorded it. No one could pull this song off like Roberta Flack ❤
Very nice song
beautiful
From the tribe of Judah love her wow anyone that knows the song is blessed
Oh my gosh, this is 3x the song of the hit side of this record!! And showcases her beeeuuuoootiful voice!!! So silky!!
Jah jah real song ❤❤❤❤
I came here from Randy Crawford’a beautiful cover from 1981, all those years I didn’t know it was a Roberta Flack original, until about 5 years ago. As far as the lyrics go, some things change, but these words are truer and unfortunate the last decade then even back then in the 70’s and 80’s. All of our traditions that our parents and grandparents us are blowing out with the tradewinds. The present young generation has no clue what’s right and wrong these days.
Thay do make them like this eaney more 😢🎉
Get that skank on at 1:57
Ô lenhada 😮💥💥💥💥
Reggae Music is the Heart beat of JAMAICA 🇯🇲
I remember when I was about 12 years old when I heard "Patches" by Clarence Carter for the first time, the song hit my little pea brain so powerfully that I cried. 41 years later, this song did the same to me( I have a bigger brain now though). No other song has ever had such an effect on me. The funny thing is I've heard this song before, by Lou Rawls and Randy Crawford, but Ms. Flack's rendition just does something to me. Thank you Mr Smith for posting this version. Thank you, Ms. Flack, for crooning a timeless ballad. I love you, God bless you eternally.
Thanks for sharing part of your heart.
Love this s song it says so much about today
아름다운 노래네요❤❤
I remember this as a teen, played it over and over in my head for almost 50 years and now to hear it again is awesome.
What a wonderful find! This is one of my all time favorites ❤❤❤
Roberta flack, you are a diamond in the sky, a soul sweet and dreamy. Be with my heart
I love esta VOZ a esta mujer imortal quien me arropado con su armoniosa voz.
She sang this a longtime ago. It still is pertinent. I love the way she delivers the message. I cry every time I sing it. The children of rich and poor are looking for the truth and if they don’t find it, god help tomorrow’s youth! I loose it on that line!
I am so happy that she has been able to sing Trade winds!The lyrics are still current and effective!With Roberta singing the message is delivered!
Music
Cornell was blessed with one of best voices in Jamaican music
This song clearly paints the true picture of today's society,hate mass shootings and all the political unrest that's reaping havoc on our daily lives which in return only brings heartache and sorrow ,it's as if we have to ask ourselves do love exist in this vacuum of a bitter society,this is surely the tradewinds of our time.
As great as he is man can't top original rocksteady sound
2023 still looking for the lyrics
[Intro] Lord, them lie, them lie Lord, them lie, Sir The wicked dem lie, sir Yeah-yeah I say - The wicked dem lie, sir (yeah) [Chorus] Some of them say them a natty dread And some of them say them a Rasta man But some of them are a two face Rasta man Since the wicked dem say "Selassie dead" Some of them turn back to bald head Cause some of them [drink of alchoholly?] I know we a' find all the hypocrites since the wicked dem say "Selassie dead" [Verse 1] But children don't be mislead 'cause Jah-Jah is not dead How can Jah-Jah leave his children in the wilderness to suffer? The weed on the fields must grow until the day of judgement when Jah-Jah shall declare himself and separate them from each other cause.. [Chorus] Some of them say them a natty dread And some of them say them a Rasta man But some of them are a two face Rasta man 'cause the wicked dem say "Selassie dead" Some of them turn back to bald head Some of them [drink of alchoholly?] I know we a' find all the hypocrites Since the wicked dem say "Selassie dead" [Interlude] Yeah! Lord! Wicked dem lie, sir Lord, Yeah! Is it dread-dread-dread Ooo-ooo-oo [Chorus] Some of them say them a natty dread And some of them say them a Rasta man But some of them are a two face Rasta man For the wicked dem say "Selassie dead" Some of them turn back to bald head Some of them [drink of alchoholly?] I know we a' find all the hypocrites Since the wicked dem say "Selassie dead" [Verse 2] But children don't be mislead 'cause Jah-Jah-Jah is not dead How can Jah-Jah leave his children in the wilderness to suffer? But weed on the fields must grow until the day of judgement when Jah-Jah shall declare himself and separate them from each other
“ ….how can Jah , Jah leave HIS Children in the wilderness to suffer…..” times about up doubters ⚡️
Andreas Herbert Barthol Cleveland Ohio LIL HERB ON DA CURB CLEVELAND OHIO ANDREAS LOVES YOU ❤️😊
Lawd ... THIS is on the scale of Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On & Mercy Mercy Me... with her amazing lyrics & amazing vocals. THIS song & THIS version of THIS song NEEDS to be put into a prominent movie soundtrack that is directed at today's youth...something similiar to The Freedom Writer's... to put it onto the music charts & into people's hearts & minds !!! It's message is timely & timeless !!!
WELL STATED, DECLARED, EXPRESSED, TYPED, RESONATED. We have SO MANY ARTISTS, STORYTELLERS, HECK PROPHETIC EXPRESSIONIST! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY TIME GROWING UP....... ESPECIALLY THE 70'S. I WAS BORN IN 64. CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE 60's to CIVIL UNREST IN THE 70s AND THE JOURNEY CONTINUED. SONGS AND VOCAL EXPRESSIONS LIKE THIS HELPED THE SONGS, THE MESSAGE, THE MEANING, THE PURPOSE OF THE WORDS OF THIS SONG FROM THIS ARTIST INSPIRED BY ***********?! I AM GRATEFUL.🤗😁🤭✌️
Shots out to dad that had me in that ballroom when I was a kid and one of them drunk S.O. Be's pur that song on.... good times coming from a Millennial born in 82 😑😌
One of the greatest interpreters of song in our time. Saw her at a fundraiser for Harlem Hospital at Riverside Church in 1977 where she opened with a cover on Melba Moore's hit "I am his Lady" and Roberta's cover was to this day the most perfectly rendered song I have ever heard. Her musicians looked almost like a random assortment of folks when they preceded her to the alter in the sanctuary of the chapel but when they picked up their instruments and she sat at the piano and sang that first lyric, she had us all for the rest of the evening. When she finished that first song, there was a moment of silence as if none of us could believe that we had just shared such an exquisite moment as her FIRST SONG and then the applause thundered so loud that they shook the stained glass! She never recorded the song and in many ways it made her performance of it even more special. It always seemed to be a mark of the greats that they could perform a song that someone else made popular and do it so much better that you cannot go back and listen to the other singer's version. What a brilliant talent this woman is.
And it also shows just how much Ms. Flack admires those artists herself; and how much their music touched her heart, that she would cover their songs. ❤️💫✨
@@MsTexas73 Tru' dat!
What an awesome memory that you - and a relatively small select few - have of Miss Roberta. She was indeed "one of the greatest interpreters of song in our time".
Seriously? @@joiedevie3901
Simply beautiful ✨🎼🌻🎶🎧🎵💫
Thank you for your persistence and for your dedication to a fragment of beauty heard and not forgotten…
Bless you, Roberta Flack.
Yu dunno 🔥🔥🔥
The Symphony... I love it...
I always thought Lou Rawls sang the original version of this song.
Bennett Gibson
Les dejo la traducción de esta bella canción Vientos alisios Aquí estoy mirando Mirando a mi alrededor Mientras todo a mi alrededor ¿Qué veo? Caras infelices detrás de una sonrisa pintada Dolor de corazón y soledad vestidos con estilo moderno Personas infelices que viven en el pecado y la vergüenza Reflexiones de mí mismo La vida no es un juego fácil Estamos atrapados en los vientos alisios Los vientos alisios de nuestros tiempos Aquí estoy mirando Mirando a mi alrededor Mientras me rodeaba ¿Qué es lo que veo? Chicas jóvenes que pronto se convertirán Caminantes de la calle en la noche Muchachos jóvenes, el sangrado inquieto (sabiendo lo que van a encontrar) Buscando una pelea Niños, ricos y pobres Están buscando la verdad Si no lo encuentran Dios ayude a la juventud del mañana Estamos atrapados en los vientos alisios Los vientos alisios de nuestros tiempos Vientos alisios están soplando Soplando a mi alrededor Mientras me rodeaba ¿Qué es lo que veo? (odio y celos) El odio y los celos La burdedad se está muriendo (El amor es lo que realmente necesitamos) El amor es la respuesta Que nadie va a comprar La gente buena se vuelve mala Algunos no, pero son pocos Los vientos están soplando Tu elección depende de ti Estamos atrapados en los vientos alisios Los vientos alisios de nuestro tiempo Sí, estamos atrapados en los vientos alisios Los vientos alisios de nuestro tiempo Estamos atrapados en los vientos alisios Los vientos alisios de nuestro tiempo
Beautiful.
My favourite track on the album, so good ☝️
Beautiful song. 😍😍
My fav
Rasta Don!
Beautiful song, beautiful person!
Angels are blowing on us and time again!
I am so sorry for many of who in the past twenty years just now finding this song. Ms. Jackson my neighbor turned us on to this song in the sixties, I bless her for that I am now 69
