Blue Monday: My ten least popular posts

Track:Help Me
Moving on from the Top Eleven that I posted at the weekend , here are my ten least popular posts ever. This list is, I accept, not wholly fair, as most of these posts are either by performers whose names do not register on the MOG Artist Search database, or weere written in the weekend in May 2008 when MOG ate all the posts. Although they came back to life, they do NOT appear when you check out the artist. Here they are -
1. Tyrone Taylor/U Brown/Fatman Riddim Section - Free South Africa
Only posted recently, and credited to three names who only made one record together, this was never likely to collect mass views
2. Trinity - Starsky and Hutch
Great tune, but you can't link to it from the Trinity Artist lounge
3. Tamikrest - Aïcha
Posted just before the big switchover, this is off a compilation of Mali-Niger Tuareg music
4. Johnny Jenkins - Walk on Gilded Splinters
this was reposted and drew over a hundred views, so probably shouldn't be here
5. Annette Clark - Sinner Man Dub
Lee "Scratch" Perry production , sung by a veteran of ska, but her name is unknown
6. Marcia Griffiths - Hurting Inside
One of Jamaica's best singers covering one of Bob Marley's finest love songs, but you'll struggle to find the link, as it was posted on 11th May 2008 and vanished for several months.
7. Gene Chandler and Barbara Acklin - Anywhere But Nowhere
SHAME ON YOU for missing this the other week
8. The Fame Gang - Grits'n' Gravy
Hard to find, but worth a listen
9. Busty Brown - King of the Trombone
See # 5 - Lee Perry at the controls, but again an unknown singer
10. Augustus Pablo - Drums to the King
This, I think, is another of the disparu from May last year - Pablo usually attracts five to ten times this many views

Hmmm, it certainly isn't a quality issue.
Well, I have to confirm the obscurity claim. I don't recognize one name (maybe Gene Chandler..if he did some Haunted House 50s single).
But, hey, you specialize in the arcane artist so be one of the few, the proud, the unread (I reside there meself quite often).
Furthermore, you look like you are contemplating mouse genocide.
Dermahrk:
Gene Chandler cut the original "Duke of Earl", and recrded numerous r'n'b and soul hits.
Marcia Griffiths had two UK Top Ten hits as half of Bob and Marcia, and sang with the I-Threes on Bob Marley's albums from 1974-80.
The FAME studios in Muscle Shoals are fairly famous, no? This is their house band.
Johnny Jenkins is the link between Otis Redding and Duane Allman.
At least this post won't make the list. Love the SBW track, also.
