blessings..heard this 70's revive tune on the radi and it starts like ..over the mountain across the sea
there is a girl waiting for me
oh what a mystery that sealed so tight...

does any one know the title and artist(by a male and female backing him )will be grateful.give thanks

Don't know the title, sorry. But want to say to the DJs that old music biz motto: When you play it, say it.
That is really necessary in a music like this one where so little is known by most people.

the thing is they won't even mention it as they don't want people to own it.

U r right. But on the radio? v poor. It aint a sound system business. The idea is to BROADcast, not narrowcast. Reggae spent DECADES looking for airtime. Yet when it gets it, certain things must remain secret, it seems. yet however many tunes you have there is always some more what you dont kno about. There is no such thing as the best or the most exclusive. A next man or woman always have a next version or a better cut...

true.no wonder lots of killer tunes from rocksteady to revive and lover rock and others never made it and good talented artists disappeared into obscurity.every time i listen to radio i discover new stuff.some i get and i buy it and by so doing patronising and supporting the music as well.those dj's don't think like that.very sad situation...
that tune above,few copies were made in jamaica the dj said.not surprised......the original soul cut was by bobby vinton i discovered from the lyrics...will surely get it as time goes on.
