No, the original goes right back. I have it by Big Yout and Horace Andy and neither are the original

Re: Roots music from the 70s and 80s

Among the many sides Horace cut for Studio One are two which stand out because they have been versioned many times, these are the original cuts on the Skylarking and Mr Bassie riddims. Following are lists of other cuts on these two famous riddims, thanks to http://www.reggae-riddims.com. Listed are track title and artist, and where known, label, year, producer and recordings on which the particular cut can be found. This is what is written in Reggae Routes:The Story of Jamaican Music about 'Skylarking':
Horace Andy's reedy tenor played off a churning bass line and punctuating horn line to poignantly capture the frustrations of the unemployed young men that are an eternal feature of Kingston's streets:

Begging you a five cent sir / begging you a ten cent sir.


Horace Andy
Skylarking - the original cut for producer Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd at Studio One
1972, C S Dodd, Studio One; V.A.-Respect To Studio1 One(Heartbeat CD HB181/182)

Re: Roots music from the 70s and 80s

Culture sound nearest to Spear. If yu want Rastaman chanting, try Ras Michael and the Sons Of Negus.

Jimmy Riley from the days of Lloyd Charmers and Slim Smith as the Uniques and now adult son Tarrus Riley.
Jimmy and Tarrus can sing, trus mi. They have their individual creations.
