Different riddim than the "Crazy Circus" tune....
I think that PECINARASTA is talking about same riddim as/....the Dennis Brown - Milk & Honey
Uplifter - Strength & Power
Root andrew - Always on my mind
John Holt - Police in helicoptor / youths pon...
Cultural roots - Love feelings
Pinchers - Lyrics non stop
Ther are so many more but I can think of them right now. all same foundation riddim (milk & honey), different backing band or versions, very tough riddim though. Seems like maybe there has already been a discussion about this(?). aDamBom

If "tear drops" mixes with Little John's "searchin everyday"(which is on the milk & honey riddim), then I would have to say that Winston Hussey's song is also on the Milk & Honey riddim, which came out first in the 70's (Hussey sang his in the 80's). aDamBom

Jah Carlos originated it becuase "Prepare Jahman" has the same bassline as Lizzard's "Milk & Honey". Don Carlos Remade it in the early 80's "I Love Jah" on a
(12 inch). There you have it
