U-Roy - Listen To The Teacher

[Likkle One Selecta]

Greetings!

Can anyone tell me which song is the original of "Listen To The Teacher" by U-Roy on the "Dread In Babylon" album.

I have heard the riddim before, but can't remember who sang it.

Cheers

Bless

Hey AnorakTrev

Good to hear from you! Yes, I wonder!!

And you!

thanks for your answers.

Any idea who else has sung on that riddim?

I know I have heard other singers...don't remember who and which songs though.

Toots & The Maytals maybe?

Thanks everyone for their answers.

I will try to hunt these songs down.

If you know of other songs or artists on that riddim, please let me know.

Blessed Love

Lloyd and Devon's "Red Bum Ball" comes close to the rhythm that U Roy used for "Listen To The Teacher".
"Slim Boy" by Barbara Jones is on the same rhythm (bassline) but a different take.
"Do You Want Me" by John Holt is something completely different though.
