I heard a singjay tune in 1982 on a cassette recording of David Rodigan's programme on Capital radio called Roots Rockers.
I don't know the title but the chorus went like this

"Its a DJ jamboree bang diddly dee
It's a DJ jamboree
cah me say whether inna jamdown or in the UK,
Special Dedication to all DJ

There are other lines like
Cah me say when i was a youth Papa U Roy was de King.

The intro was
I Specialise in dubwise cos i know its good


Please who did dis song?

Help me.
I have purchased other songs on that particular tape
Lone Ranger's - Love Bum, Hiyo Silver away and Barnabus Killing.
John Holt's - Queen of the Ghetto
Aswad - Promised Land.

Thanks

Badoo - Rocking Of The Five Thousand 12" - KG Imperial.

Thanks a million.........Think you know where i can get this single?

Bless Up

I just Googled (plenty places to get that tune)

Sorry Thomas
WRONG SONG. It's not the rocking of the 5000.
The song sounded like it was done by two DJ's.

So anyone out there who can help me?
