yeah cant forget augustus pablo's famous "melodica"

[Ras Rich I]

Excellent LP !!! Not talked about often enough..Bless!!

[arize_rootsman]

just know that he was lead singer for the legendery band "the viceroys" i think he is stupid for leaving that band he had such success with them, i think thats why "the viceroys" didnt get the popularity they should of gotten cause norris reid played a big role in that band.

Rockers Comes East by Augustus Pablo is a great instrumental on Roots & Vine
