On the archives they appear as 2 different persons (both with the song be thankful). Does someone if they aren't the same person?

Yep, Bunny Clarke is the "real" name of the Third World singer. Lee Perry changed his name to Scott so his records would sell better on the UK as english are supposed to like english names better.
My advice is to buy the book People Funny Boy by David Katz (Lee Perry's Biography). It's full of these nice anecdotes. One of the best reggae books ever.

Hi there,Mark.
Henrik is spot on with his info.I also agree with his views on "People Funny Boy".I suggest trying to get hold of "To Love Somebody" by Bunny Rugs & The Upsetters,I`ve got a copy on a Tabou 1 CD., (which also has 4 extra tracks).
(I compiled a "wedding" CDR ,for a close friend ,last week with "To Love Somebody" on it,along with a few more relevant romantic reggae tunes.Went down a storm!!)
Take care
Love and Peace
Trevor
