I'm looking for a song by merchant called "HOT LINE", its a beautiful song and reminds me of contemporary blues artist Robert Crays styl in terms of the arrangement. Could you get that song Scorpiopetey??
@ desalines: I believe "Um Ba Yao" 1978 was sung by Merchant and it goes like this "I dream I was in Africa and I was a Warrior, hunting lions and tigers brave like my fore fathers Um ba ya ya O." I know I have it in my collections i will post it as soon as I can find it.
@desalines I have got this song but its by Lord Shorty.Are you sure its by Merchant?The one i got is defintely by Shorty and i rate it as one of the greatest songs ever.I was looking for that song for years but couldnt remember who was the artist.Go to Lord Shorty on youtube to see if its the same song you talking about.

@desalines
Yes I remember that song. Sometime in the 1970's. It was in the soca days. A friend of mine introduced that song to me way back then.
