Johnny didnt tell you about the controversy in regards to his cover version of Bob Marleys song Crazy balhead ( or waiting in vain .... one of the two ) . The story ( from a previous j Clarke interview many years ago ) stated that Bunny Lee put the word out that the cover version was better than the original.. The story continues that in some ways this affected Johhny's career as at the time it came over like his corner ( B Lee in particular ) was vying with Bob Marley. He was kept out from doing some major reggae shows in Jamaica. I noticed that he mentioned nought on this.. maybe he has passed all that now.. not on his mind .. or he doesnt want to offend anyone. But , either way he is a great Rastafari musical icon..
I wanted to thank Johnny Clark for his contribution to the performing arts of music, when I was younger I remember thinking he was the greatest in the world, he had done some of the best covers of hits, one of my favorite cut is "wide awake in a dream" a 12inch single that lingerie in your mind, he is a great artist that laid out a great legacy.
This one of the first reggae entertainer I ever work with i did a concert with him and Uroy summer 1977 i am dance hall promoter then and the great studio 1 Dummer Joe Isaac was doing the concert and bring me in the production was great good memories Bless you Johnny

Earl Zero couldn't sing the song properly he kept on making mistakes, Johny Clarke sing the tune in one tek with no mistake and they mastered the tune cut a dub plate and give to Fatman sound in the UK.

“Every Knee Shall Bow,” “Play Fool fi Get Wise,” “Bad Days Are Coming” all favorites. One of Jamaica’s great, inimitable and distinctive voices.

Well done with the music. This is Eggie (EDGINTON) from JC. Still playing table tennis?
I think I learned more about the red Mercedes than his career
Good point alot of people do lick out on CD. But like he said at one point CD saved reggae music. I still collect vinyl and CDs
interesting about the vinyl pressing quality and using recycled vinyl

What about paying respect to Earl Zero for your big hit
None shall escape the judgement.
Earl Zero couldn't sing the song properly he kept on making mistakes, Johny Clarke sing the tune in one tek with no mistake and they mastered the tune cut a dub plate and give to Fatman sound in the UK.
Earl Zero write the tune but he couldn't sing it
