Rivers of Babylon, how many versions exist?// Most Recorded Song

Post by Javier »

Hi all,

I was listening to maytones and realised they also sing Rivers of Babylon, and their version is particularly WICKED! So, I wonder, how many version there are?

MELODIANS
DON CARLOS
RONNIE DAVIS
MAYTONES
LUCIANO (binghi style)

I think it may be one the most recorded songs, or which other do yuh think is it?

TWO QUESTIONS IN ONE HEHEHE

JAH BLESS

Sublime's version is a pretty decent one.

They are no Rasta but they truly love Reggae.
