I'm not quite sure why the song ("Ram You Hard") is credited to John Lennon.

This is definitely Leo Graham singing!

So Lion, do you open the possibility that John may be involved in that song?
Anyone else thinks it is Leo Graham singing?

David Katz mentions the song in his book "People Funny Boy" writing:
"...other numbers by Leo Graham and The Bleechers recorded for Perry include 'Farmer In The Den', 'Everything For Fun' and 'Ram You Hard', a rude number oddly credited abroad to John Lennen and The Bleechers..."

No Lennon songs are coverd ina reggae.
I only say that songs on the Pama album are recorded ina Ja & Uk and nothing more.
Listen to the song and you get your answer.

Is should be easy to tell if it is, in fact John singing, his voice is pretty unique.
