A Hundred TONS of collie...

Post by Maheek »

Who's singing on the version behind Charlie Chaplin "Jamaican Collie" ??

I can tell it's a remake of the '100 POUNDS of collie' line, but with TONS instead...

Is this wicked fast paced riddim available elsewhere? What is the "non-original" singing version?

BTW, this version is produced by Roy Cousin on Tamoki Wambesi.

Greetings Maheek,

Charlie Chaplin does his dj piece to 'I Shen Galore', a tune by Winston Jarrett. Winston's version is on the album 'Wise Man':
[cover=187,200]

I know that Cornell Campbell did his version of the tune. I'm not sure who did the original.

One Love
