On the Techniques 7" it is listed as Donovan D, but i believe the correct name for this artist is Donovan Adams.

you're right, that is the same singer. i dont knowe if Adams is his real/offical name though. I only have one single credited to Adams: No Mock Jah. Do you know anymore?

Earlier thread here;

**["Who sang original vocal version of I Roy's "Who is the man"?"](http://www.roots-archives.com/forum/rea ... #msg-22592)**

In the liner notes of Roots Techniques (Pressure Sounds, 1999), Winston Riley says that Donovan Adams played bass and sang in a group, called The Victors, but he has left the music business and was last seen driving a taxi. He also says the the original vocal version of Who Is The Man is lost in the Techniques tape vault.
I think Donovan Carlos, who sometimes sang with Soul Syndicate, is Donovan Carless. His big hit was Be Thankful, which has the chorus, "you may not have a car at all", which possibly led to the change in name.
