And I think that nobody will claim that Gregory hasnt been there, done that, and been the best reggae singer ever for about , ooh, lets say 40 years shall we? Thats the thing. In fact there are very many fine Gregory discs about now.

So Funky FredItake i take you like Warriors !!!! See it just gets harder to lay down your top 5. Every time you think you have made you list along comes another killer track.

If I had to name five I won't stop until 50 so I settle with one:

G.P. (Full House 7" version)

Almost impossible task but here is my attempt....

1 - One One Cocoa
2 - Way Of Life
3 - My Only Lover
4 - Loving Pauper
5 - Something NIce

and too many others to mention......

My Religion, Black A Kill Black, Rasta Buainess, African Woman, John Public, If You See My Mary, Kingston 14, Don't Call Me Baldhead, Beautiful Africa, Confirm Reservation, Wailing Rudy, Too Late, Tune In....amongst may others......

Really a SACRIFICE to pick five but here's my choice :

Soon forward
Tune in
Top ten

but if I could add some other it would be :

Extra classic, Kingston 14 (live), Thief a man, Confirm reservation, Night nurse, Cool down the pace, Party in the slum [hence my signature], John public, Conversation, Sacrifice, Set the captives free, Tribute to Wadee, Slave market, Nobody know, Substitute, Stranger in your town, Front door...
