A who sing ??????

[anbessa]

Here are some lyrics from two tunes I’ve now been seeking for years. I have the dj versions, but don’t have any idea of who sings the original vocals. If someone knows them, please let me know :

1) “This time call for happiness, although it’s peace there is no love,
War, rumours of war, a no so Jah Jah say we fi live …”

Rockers tune, vocal sounding like the Maytones. Harmony group anyway. DJ version : “A nuh so” by Trinity, GG Ranglin production.

2) “Here comes a plane, for me, for you and all black men,
for this is repatriation time…
And I say hip hip hooray…”

Early rockers tune. Vocal sounds like Roy Cousins, Spear stylee. DJ version : “Repatriation time” by Dillinger, on the “Cornbread” LP.


Nuff thanks in advance for any information !!!

First one might be "War" by Wailing Souls on GRED 1 (GREENSLEEVES 12").

[Dadi Digi]

First one aint the Wailing Souls Thomas as Ranking Trevor DJ's on that GREL 12".

Thanks for your answer Thomas but it's not the Wailing Souls tune. It really sounds like the Maytones, and is a uplifting rockers tune. I'll try and add soundclips, for I'd really love to find out who it is...

Yeah the second is also a great one! The dub can be found here:
[cover=4709,4107]
It's called "Thank Jah In Dub" (B1) and is credited S. Bullocks.

But no more information...

Thanks for the info Leswoodies.
Seems like it'll take me some more years to find out who sings these tunes...
