U Roy Junior

[flashman]

Anyone have any info on U Roy Junior? Who was this guy? Did he ever record under a different name? The man has some nice tunes, but I don't think he ever made an lp, just singles as far as I know.

There was a nice posting a while back on Dave Hendley's blog "Sidewalk Doctor". Even some songs to check out - don't believe he ever had a CD reissue. Here's the link to the posting:

Steve Lindley not Dave Hendley

Indeed, sorry about that

That sidewalk dr. post is brilliant! Anyone else have those songs? I'm now dying to know what the originals are for a couple of them.

If you have or know the U Roy Junior tunes:
"Sharper Than a Razor"

OR

"Two Ton Gulletto"

I'd love to know what the vocal versions and/or riddims are.
the first sounds like it might be Slim Smith? The second sounds like Delroy Wilson, but I'm not certain.

Any help?

I checked Reggae ID, but there are hardly any U Roy Jnr tracks listed there.

you are right both times: i want to be loved by slim smits & doing my thing by delroy wilson

Thanks so much. RA always has the answers!

The Delroy Wilson is easy enough to find, but I can't find a reference to that Slim Smith song anywhere. Any ideas?

I haven't listened to the tracks, but wonder if he meant Everybody Needs Love by Slim Smith.

You can check if its the right one here
