would love to know who sings this song, some of the lyrics are...
joy joy joy, joy with selassie in mt zion high, joy joy joy, the prodigal returns,
for he was lost lost lost, now he is found,
and the angels [??????????]
singing ???? ethiopians singing selassies song and it gave us joy.
from 70s i would guess, have it on cassette from a long time but no idea who performs it. thanks in advance.
