We just heard on the Craig Charles show Nobody but you by Clarence Reid from 1969 and were shellshocked by the intro. We just didn’t know! Have a listen…
We remember a good while ago spotting this intro from James & Bobby Purify from I’m your puppet which is adapted on the excellent I am the toughest from Peter Tosh. We heard both songs a good few times and just didn’t make the connection.
That’s what we love about Reggae, you think you know a little about the genre and you know next to nada. We are always prepared to be educated and suprised, a bit like gardening!
Weeds up to me knees 
While toughest is an obvious macho rewording, one has to wonder if there isn’t an ur-lier version of the Nobody-Nile intro, some 40s classic or similar?
Cheers Joly! Just cheating by looking at who sampled who and found this version of the annie get your gun classic.
Ha!
…Talk about the festivals, Morcock and Floyd… That’s a whole mix in itself!
Good old Mark P!
