Wow, Ron. Great list. I have a lot of music to search for, it seems.
Thanks again all. Tons of great stuff on here I didn't know about.

Not so much additions
but more wondering if;
Jimmy Riley - Don't Leave Me This Way (album Showcase, 1978) - orig by Donna ...?
and maybe also the song Clean Up The Streets from that album ?
Delroy Wilson - (stop the) Rains From The Skys (soul hit, also a later-version by George Faith)
Royals - Message (cover? (".. beware of the judgement-day") also covered in the 90's by Max Romeo)
Fabions - Smile (rocksteady, cover? ("..sit down now my bay (4x), smile... why wont you smile ... with me .. ")
Sheya Mission - Summertime (.. and the living is easy, fish are jumping ..", 2010?)
