best young voice? + recommendations

[apeshallnotkillape]

Hi there i was looking for some recommendations
specifically for young early kid voices in roots/dancehall/digital era,
don't know much but by now my favorites are:

* Errol Dunkley (specially "You're gonna need me")
*(young) Yami Bolo
* White Mice (Youth of Today but the whole White Mice LP reissued now on Basic Replay)

check out a clip from an early Yami Bolo:

apeshallnotkillape,
Off the top of my head, Billy Boyo was just a kid when he did Zim Zim in 1983. Clint Eastwood had a very youthful delivery too.

I just got the White Mice disc in the mail a couple days ago, I've heard lots of good things.

Speak the Truth by Junior Reid (prod by H Mundell) was recorded before his voice broke. Love is a Message by Jacob Miller (Studio One) is similar (i.e. before his voice broke).

yeah Chris, that White Mice lp is so good, and thanks Thomas, i'll be checking them, never heard about early Junior Reid records.... i've found a record between Billy Boyo and a kid called Little Harry which has a preeety good voice, also recommended title: dj clash vol. 2 billy boyo and little harry

this is one of my favorite genres of reggae ...though I never really knew what to call it! My favorite example of this is; Little John - Robe

hahah yeh that's what i thought first, hopefully i've found this forum but when i was about to search over the net for people like errol dunkley, or white mice or yami bolo style in the beginnings it was a bit hard to what to look for, it's like a pretty nice sound, like as if some of the jacksons 5 were doin reggae or toastin over a roots rhythm, throw some more favorites
by now i'd just found the jacob miller single love is a message on Studio One and it's superb

Little John's "Robe" track can be found on his "Early Years" LP produce by Don Mais / Philip Fraser (not sure).

Another Barry Brown & Little John. The "Showdown" LP on "Empire" recs from 82/83 has both these guys in their youth. Not as early as Little John mentioned above but a solid LP it is too. Readily available on repress these days.
