Lee's voice gets me to reminisce the days of our mutual educational presence at ACHISCO where his talent first reared its head. He used to perform to the whole School on most Saturday Entertainment nights with songs by James Brown, Otis Redding, Sam Cook, Jimmy Cliff, etc. interspersed with Osibisa's. Those were best days of SOUL music in Ghana, and the busting on to the International stage of Ghana's Highlife. It was on an occasion of an annual visiting Popular Band to entertain the ACHISCO crowd that Lee was given a little window to display his vocal and dancing talents and got noticed to be immediately recruited by the visiting Yamoah's Band. He nearly missed the final Paper of his GCE O-Level, we later learnt, as the Band swept him along to their next gig. Soon, the budding vocal maestro was traveling along the breadth of the whole Nation with other contemporary youthful and well-patronized Pop Bands he had migrated to. I was gladly shocked to see him join the young and restless Pacheco Pop Band that also toured my former Alma Mater, the School of Forestry, Sunyani, just a couple of years later. It was great fun that afternoon for all of us Students that knew him better. He was graceful to recognize and acknowledge us to his fellow Bandsmen/women. And, buoy, Lee was at his very best on that day! He is one of the very first Artistes I knew could emulate James Brown's Moonwalk, and swift-shuffling feet, even before Michael Jackson further popularized the act. Right then, we knew Lee only had the sky to chase for glory. No wonder he soon got picked up by the Police Band. The apogee of Lee's tantalizing vocals permeated my musical World when he led George Darko's Band to deliver the evergreen Highlife hit, Ako Te Brofo. I could not help but follow his progress all through his separation from Darko to form Kantarta.
Hello ,are you related to papa nii patonton of local taxi driver local drama fame series in the early 2000's? With your big big "oesophagus" long grammar
@@nanakay121Nanakay121, what is 'Long Grammar'? And a short one, too? I wrote with a very simple vocabulary. Maybe it is the style of writing that you are not familiar with. Sorry! But that's not my fault. You shamefully demonstrate what many folks recognize as "mocking the Nerd'. It is a very puerile behavior, even childish buffoonery, commonly observed in Schools. The lazy students who don't want to learn hard enough would then pick on the hard-working ones and ridicule them for performing well in Class. If you were too lazy in School to learn your English properly, don't use me for a scapegoat and an excuse. If you were any wiser, you'd understand that when you decide to learn anyone's Language you should aim at learning it well. I don't claim to be an expert in English. But when I intend to use it, I try to use it well. No one has even forced you to read what I wrote, and if you didn't want to write in English, you could as well have written in your Local Language. I guess you are one of those folks who can't even differentiate between "L" and "R". Get a life!! It is such preference as you have for mediocrity that has gotten Ghana still languishing in quagmire. With folks like you, Ghana has a very long way to go. I didn't have folks like you in mind when I wrote my tribute to Lee Duodu. I meant it for people who has the ability to appreciate good quality. That is also to encourage up-and-coming Artistes to achieve more. However, with nincompoops like you gnawing at the efforts that others are making, the going gets tougher for all. So, if you have nothing better to contribute, get the heck out of the way. "Nkyenkyema a osi akwan!' Oh, and just so you know, moron, I can also write my Vernacular quite appreciably. That might hurt you, too. Right? Jackass!! Ghana needs less of your type to advance. Long Live Ghana!!!
@@nanakay121 You might be one of those folks who, for the fact that they were lazy and dumb in school, were always jealous of others performing better than them. You surely sound like a "D.C. Kwame Kwakye" wannabe. What I wrote was a tribute to someone who I personally knew and was friends with. So, my glowing tribute to him did not have to conform to your mediocre verbiage. What is "Long Grammar"? and what is "Short Grammar"? I wrote in a simple Language that every average English reader could understand and appreciate. So, go get a life!
@@nanakay121 Your attitude is the kind that has driven Ghana into a quagmire. I only wrote a glowing tribute to someone I personally know and admire for his talents and how he used them. And you sit there quibbling about the level of English used to write it. You remind me of the lazy Students who would always jealously ridicule the hardworking students performing admirably. It's folks like you who prefer and condone mediocrity. If I have to speak or write English, I would rather do better than your "D.C. Kwame Kwakye" Grammar, which, I guess, you'd refer as 'short'. I will take my 'long' Grammar every time over that.
