As far as I'm concerned Johnny Clarke never worked for Junjo Lawes and sadly he did not voice any rhythms backed by Roots Radics Band or even High Times Players.
He did work for Linval Thompson, but that was in 1976/1977 , way before Radics were active.
During the early 80's Johnny Clarke stayed in England for a long time. Maybe this long absence from JA explains why there are no recordings over dancehall-rhythm by this fine singer.

I'm not sure if it's been produced by Junjo or Lawes (probably not), but it has that same feel: 'Jah Love Is With I' and 'Bad Days'.
