This is one of the greatest songs created by late Baila Champion Wolly Bastian not by Desmond Silva.

@sarainconcert

Correct. Most of 70s Desmond's baila are Wally's (not spelt Wolly1) songs. Obviously you have not read my description. This is the original version of the song that Desmond sang back in the 70s!!
