Not When I'm In Town | S.E. Rogie

S. E. Rogie (born Sooliman Rogers) was a highlife and palm wine guitarist and singer from Sierra Leone. He was born in the 1940s and began performing early, while supporting himself as a tailor. In the 1960s, he became a professional musician, singing in four languages. His hits include "Koneh Pehlawo", "Go Easy with Me" and "My Lovely Elizabeth". He formed a band called The Morningstars in 1965. S.E. Rogers travelled to the United States in 1973. In the US, he performed at elementary and high schools across California, and received awards from the US Congress and Senate, the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, California.
He moved to England in 1988. He died in 1994 shortly after recording his last album, Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana.

I'm in heaven, no better tonic than Rogie, and these unknown tracks are a dream come true.

The roots of Mississippi Delta Blues. The similarity is so breathtaking. Its like listening to the African version of Robert Johnson!

Sorry! The other song is called Henrietta! I have some more '60s tracks of Rogie which he left me...They're all wonderful and need to be heard!

[@MrJameswingham]

The other song is called Toomus Meremereh Nor Good...and no I've no idea what that means! Keep em coming please!

[@hijodesumatter]

That was beautiful, thank you. I heard the beginning of another song at the end there I think. Do you by any chance know what that song might be called?

[@doomslang]

I FINALLY figured out the song at the end: The Ramblers Dane Band - Onua pa, due...it's not quite as climactic as it seems, but still really good.

[@doomslang]

On this song, when everything kicks in at the end, is that just how the original sounded, or is that an outro that got cut off or a different song altogether? Because it sounds so great.
