Prince Garthie - Apples is the Dj version of Dennis Brown's 'Little Green Apples.versionside wrote:Would like to know more about them too!
Hadn't played these in awhile so I was surprised at how much the lead singer sounds the same on Babylonians as he does a few years later with Earth and Stone.
You can also hear the similarities in his voice on Ten Years Ago (Iron Side) (1972?) but it is not nearly as pronounced as Babylonians (1974).
Heavy Studio 1 bass line on Ten Years Ago, but not a big fan of the shoo-doop-de-doo refrain in the song, especially since the song has such a dread feel to it. But it doesn't wreck it.
Matty, the flip side to Ten Years Ago is by a DJ called Prince Garthie, sounds like a different riddim than Ten Years Ago. Going to play it again, seems to have promise - didn't catch why it goes by the title Apple???
Earth and Stone, love 'em!
its a christmas song, because in Jamaca it's traditional te eat imported American Apples (the kind we call regular apples in europe and America) during the holiday season.
'Apples' in jamaica usually refer to Otaheite Apple, that grows in Jamaica, unlike the American Apple that needs a colder climate.
@ Jah titus: it's produced by Niney
