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!
