im gunna write this one more time.. as i have done before. tried to get in contact with my father who is GLAISTER FAGAN... im 15 now and the more i wait im starting to feel like i dont need him, but i do:/
- IF ANYBODY HAS HIS NUMBER OR KNOWS HOW I CAN GET IN CONTACT WITH HIM PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
-if you know any imformation please message me, thanks!♥
Trying to explain to our children that this is REAL MUSIC is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone. HIP HOP ain't got NOTHING on this kind of SWEET SWEET REGGAE! Trust me when mi tell yu soh!
What a brilliant song. Only Bob Dylan could write this and have it in his back log as a not so well known song. For anyone else, it could would be a high water mark.
Matumbi do true justice to it. Oh, boy, whatever happended to Rocksteady? What ever happened to Blue Beat and Ska ?
My wife and I had the honour of knowing Bevin Fagan aka Run (singer with Matumbi) during the last few years of his life (before it was so tragically cut short). He was a good friend of ours. Sadly he never got to come to our wedding but we played this tune in the church in remembrance. You were there in spirit mate :-)
Please check out my page for a tribute video to Bevin. I agree lolfox - Matumbi were in my view the finest British reggae band.
This brings back memories of decent raving back in the day. Yeah, we may have only been 16 and yeah we used to sneak out but we dressed respectably in our finest, treated people's properties with respect, there was no stabbing and fighting, man used to pull you for a dance, man used to smell good, decent curry goat and rice free flowing and if you were one of those that stayed to the end, you could guarantee a fry dumpling brekfast (yes, brekfast not breakfast). Those were the days, indeed.
Pull upppppp. This song I remember sweeted me so much I was singing it whilst dancing with a guy. He was very impressed with my voice at the time and told me to continue. I guess I was clever to be singing and dancing at the same time eh? What a song to sing to sing to your man. Very moving song.
1 dance me went , tink it was da Bronx near da cab office near carnival.
An me dance wid a man, i aint realy 1 2 dance wid man unless i know dem but on dis nit, wel me dance wid dis man, but wen da best bits of da song cum, me run ova 2 da speaker box 2 hear da tune me lik betta hee hee hee, i dont tink he was dat offended hee hee hee an if i felt lik singin i would go an stand next 2 da Dj an sing louder dan im doe im on da mic. Me was ah shockazulu
Another feel good tune to wake up to:)

Where would British Reggae have been without Bovell?
Also, his version of Grapevine, with the Slits was probably better than the original!!
Respect is due.
