Help with song ID - You're coming up shaky girl

Post by MightyZ »

Anyone know the title of this song?

'You're coming up shaky girl,
and I don't think we're going to make it'

got a clip of it on an old Joe Gibbs mix (late 70's I think)

A title and artist would be great, even better if you can tell me the name/producer of a dub version of the riddim?

jacob miller definitely sang a version of this song, which is probably called "shakey girl".

check this release:

[cover=7506,2746]

the new 17 North Parade release of this album has a special extended mix of this song.

Yeah - great song - I did actually misquote those lyrics slightly, but hell I got the answer I wanted in 9 minutes!

Respect to Mick D and RA for providing such a speedy service :D

In return I offer you an hour of quality roots dub spanning at least 3 decades:
