Hello all,
Can anybody help me to identify this wonderful tune?
'Hey Mr Walker
I like your daughter
I used to tell her
That I'm a welder
That was a lie sah,
I'm just a singer
In a roots rock reggae band
Now I'm asking for her hand'.

An absolutely killer rhythm; full of joy. Wow, let me tell you they don't make them like this any more. I thank God or whoever for letting my ears be blessed with this one...

The vocalist sounds like Johnny Osbourne.
Rodigan played this a lot in 1981.

Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

Ay 'Kipper',
so what ? Look at you're other post

Johnny Osbourne is the singer, Mr Walker is the name of it. Good luck finding it, it's rare

Not that rare. Reissued 2004 on CD. Label: Black Arrow.

Mr Walker / Johnny Osbourne [Gorgon Records] 7"

You will also get a wicked cut of it on Johnnie O's "Musical Chopper" LP for King Jammys.
