According to this article, Rico Rodriquez's Let George Do It, and two other recordings of Vin Gordon's Heavenless are falsely credited to Drummond.

Genius is so often tinged with madness. Sadly.

Don Drummond was responsible for so much excellent music - I think he can afford to lose a few tracks here and there without losing his Legend status!

I always knew that Heavenless was Vin Gordon's.
It is everywhere

Is anyone else a bit miffed about this post?
I mean questioning the genius of Don Drummond is one thing (we are entitled to our own opinions, yes ...but a couple of falsely credited tracks is not enough to question the status of one of the most important figures in the history of Jamaican (and for me any) music.
Also - I really hope your name is John Peel - or that handle is in poor taste in my books.
I said before - we are entitled to our opinions - mine are very strong on both these points!
