Hi...

Has anybody infos about the life and identity of mr RISING SON? I read somewhere he was an ethiopian orthodox curch affiliate, but dont know more...

Do you know if he' still living?
Woud be great to bring him back to music, he's one of the most regular and selective 70's roots singer. All of them pure killers...


And can anyone help me to fulfil his dicography. I know there are fillers ike "Rising Sun" that have no link at all with but are referenced sometime a...

What I know is:

*Everyone shoud have a home
*Jah Jah Robe
*Free man
*Forgive them Jah

I know there are at least to: one less good dancehall and an alternate of Free Man called African man.. do you know more?
Thanks!!

I don't know "African Man", the alternate of "freeman" that I know is called "Peace Man" on the Ta-Shi label, which have also a DJ cut by Jah Suckie (Peace in a Jamdung).
Check Captain's rising son mix for 2 more tunes: http://www.dancehallstyle.com/rm2/

I recall of a Natty Dread magazine article about the New Flower label that I think gave some info about him but I am not sure...

Yes true bredren, I confonded "African man" and "peace man".. that's the one I thought... and heard that Dj, yeah... good...and ya true again for the Natty Dread... they just told me that they speak of him in the Al Campbell & New Flower release... but that I havent. Will order. Merci beaucoup!!

Yeah... true selctadj!, thanks, it's the same artist yes, even if it's not his normal quality of tunes... At least for a deep roots lover...!!

Well Rising Son's disco is gettin better!

*Jah Jah Robe
*Free man
*Peace man
*Forgive them Jah
*Out on the job
*Aint No stopping Us Now
*Father Land
*Stop Cheating

Any more chune to add bredren?

hi littelet all tunes are deep roots
among roots knotty roots:

Rising SUN Aint No stopping Us Now (lab:Rising JA 82)
Rising SUN Father Land(Negus roots NERT007/b side Nicodemus 1981)
Rising SON Stop Cheating(Soundoff prod M Palmer 1979)

there should have more tunes
RKR talks about:
Rising SUN United we stand & Early to bed (Moodie disc 72)perhaps the same band perhaps not

Hi again, thanks again...

well am almost certain that this "Rising sUn" is another man, I heard the Negus Roots one, long ago, and nothin to deal with the Rising Son I know... Not the voice, not the stylee...

and other songs of this "rising sun" are different too, check this mix of Rising Son that is not mine, the second is "Rising Sun" and doesnt stick with the rest...

http://www.dancehallstyle.com/rm2/risingson_mix.ram


songs:
1) Rising Son - Jah Jah Robe
2) Rising Sun - Mother Nature
3)Rising Son - A Free Man
4)Rising Son - Peace Man
5)Rising Son - Out On The Job

I really doubt that this 1972 tune coud be from him too... cause there is a hole, between 72 and his next song!

But Aint no stopping us now and stop cheating coud be! Time will tell.. maybe!

Have now audio confirmation that "no cheating" is not him too... So there are others artists called rising sUn...

last one to find is... Aint no stopping us now

maybe!
