WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Sunday Covers plus a little leftover Reggae business

Posted over 2 years ago
I first heard this tune from the originator, the great Syl Johnson. But I was blown away by the Ken Boothe Reggae version. Both are outstanding.Key lyric:Dark brown shade of my skin, Only adds color to my tearsI first heard the Ken Boothe version on Blood and Fire's incredible collection of Reggae covers called,Darker than Blue:Soul From Jamdown. The track posted here, I believe, is the original Trojan 7" with an additional horn solo.Have a good week y'all.

  9. Rawkkiddoh says Pseudo and I may be dead, but we have not made the trek to the pearly gates yet. We asked to see our kills get made before making the trip, I have a feeling mine will die today
