Does anyone know the name of the first song that he is deejaying to?

[dubweedroots]

U-Roy performs "Runaway Girl"over "You Don't Care"Riddim and "Natty Rebel" over "Soul Rebel" Riddim at a concert in Sav La Mar, Jamaica 1978

bless

[rudeboy6000]

Isn't it "Natty Don't Fear" ?

[blakbeltjonez]

@Nina513

song is Lloyd Parks AKA Lloyd Spark's "You Don't Care", a re-do of The Techniques classic "You Don't Care". U-Roy deejayed over the rhythm for his own "Natty Don't Fear" (this is not "Runaway Girl") on his "Dread Inna Babylon" LP, came out in 1975. the whole record is great, well worth getting.

"Runaway Girl" is based on Ken Boothe's "Just Another GIrl", Barrington Spence re-did it for the U-Roy LP

[jmose24]
