Anyone know what song 'Malcolm X' is a dub of?

just a wild guess ... but earl sixteen has a song called malcolm x . could very well be that .

no, it's a lovers rock tune with female vocals. thanks anyway

-bump-

a snippet of the vocals appears in this dub, a female UK lovers rock voice sings 'o this beautiful land, see the children playing in the sand'
does this ring any bells at all?

bump..

i'd like to know this one as well

Does it go like this

poor Malcolm ..........X
poor Malcolm ..........X

no , the lyrics have nothing to do with Malcolm X. Read the description - it's a lover's rock song sung by a woman;
Anyway, as 'Babylon Destruction' was released on the Cha Cha label, I guess the tunes versioned on were also released through there. Tapir's website lists some 12" on Cha Cha by a vocalist named Sonya. Haven't heard them, but I'm suspecting it's one of those songs.
If anyone would be so kind to post an mp3 or send it to my e-mail, this would be my lucky day.

i've been trying to find out about that vocal for that dub too.

i will give it a listen today and see if i know...

It *ISN'T* Sonia's "My Baby Of Magic" (CHAD 20A). Hopefully, that will help you cross one off your Cha Cha song list!
