Comments here make it look like this song was from Nigeria. No. It was not. It was from Jamaica, but I don’t think there was ever a bigger hit in Nigeria than this song.

[@XYZ-iu5vr]

My uncle used to play this music in the early 80's

[@aframaco9491]

Aaah Naija 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 ..long in the days of old, when men were bold and guns were not invented… long before Afrobeats became the staple .., it was Jamaican reggae in Nigeria ! It was supreme!!! This song reigned supreme alongside I Roy’s “Catty Rock” and U Roy’s “Go there Natty”! No other music reigned in Nigeria in the 1970’s with such fervour until Afrobeats came along in the last decade! Jah I!!! 🇳🇬🇯🇲from the root to the fruit!!

[@Africa1000]

Hang on....I think you've forgotten Fela and Afrobeat. Still, this tune was rocking black London back in the day!

[@aframaco9491]

@@Africa1000 Oh no Fela was different! He was History, Geography and Social Studies rolled into one! Fela had his fingers on the political and cultural pulse of Nigeria! But for the Nigerian youths, the 70's and 80's reggae of those days were for jumping and jiving! Fela was in his own lane!!

Take me back to year (1977), the era of Festival of Art and Culture (FESTAC 77) in Lagos Nigeria.

10 years now I have been looking for this song. Thanks a Million

[@JohnsonOpigo]

I cannot begin to describe how I feel when I hear genuine songs like this that moves the soul to the nth degree! Uroy, Bob Marley, Dillinger, Jimmy Cliff, I-Roy and many more were harbingers of happiness, of joy, of roof dropping and jumping jams. It was banging nonstop and we were jamming nonstop too.

[@chukwuemekamba4501]

I am now in my early 60's. I can't stop listening to this song. It makes me remember when I was in secondary school. Great song.

[@patrickonwuachi2020]

[@benneth8032]

When we were little, we listened to all sorts of regae vibes from an elderly bros then, n danced to them. Little did we know they were sinking into our memories even as children. ...n then growing up, after numerous recalls, it gradually n FULLY Dawned on us the True meaning of the lyrics, knowing now the Ragae Heroes were passing Powerful Messages in songs. God bless All the Ragae Icons, n bless the Elderly Bros wherever he is for playing those Amazing songs.

Classic reggae at it's best

[@ayoaje8006]

Wonderful

[@lawrencenjawe1935]

For ages up to the 90s I believed this track was from Third World as Glasford Manning's vocals is so similar to the late Bunny Rugs (Third World); even the vocal harmonies and bassline evoke the band's style and Richard Daley's bass. Man how wrong I was!!!!!

[@brhmsaad]

I remember the first time I heard this song on a friends Sharp GF9494 Stereo cassette deck player in august 78 or 79. Those are the days of long vocation jobs at IAR (institute of Animal Research) now NAPRI ( National Animal Production Research Institute) shika. THANKS for the memories Yusuf Musa (where ever you are) and your late brother Abba Musa, and late father Musa Maiduguri who taught us discipline and work ethics at such a tender age. our children will remember life in living color at a press of a button but God was so gracious to us that our memories and emotions are preserved through music.... I am in tears

Wow.This takes me back to my high school days in Nigeria when we used to gyrate at our Reggae club. We got an instant high from just listening to it.

[@franciscaokpo]

Reginald Mbomi you're very right. One can get high just listening to this music. I love this music so much. It reminds me of those old school days. I'm glad we still get the opportunity to listen to it again. God bless the Jewells.

Yes, from memory lane when reggae was a drug to some of us in 1970s Nigeria. Winston Holness, better known as Niney the Observer (born George Boswell, 1951, Montego Bay), is a Jamaican record producer and singer who was a key figure in the creation of many classic reggae recordings dating from the 1970s and early 1980s.
