@SeniorSuperstud I've just listened to London Pride and it doesn't even superficially sound like Mbube, Wimoweh or The Lion Sleeps Tonight. I really don't know why you made that comment.
@SeniorSuperstud No that's not true, Londn Pride has nothing to do with it. Go to santafe.com and search for "Dick Rosemont" - his recent blog tells the origins of Wimoweh/Mbube
Love knowing the full story of this song - Dick Rosemont (The Guy in the Groove) posts a blog for santafe.com. Be sure to check it out.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight!
Wimoweh is a modified version of an African song "Mbube". 5*****!

This is not genuine African music. It is the same tune as a song called "London Pride" by Noel Coward in 1920

@SeniorSuperstud you are completely wrong. this song comes from the son "mbube" recorded by south african singer solomon linda in 1939.
