Respect to Smilley Culture. He came to Saxon Sound in 1982 after the departure of Maxi Priest, Dirty Desi and Peterkin. He developed from a normal Sound MC to an international musician. Saxon was well known for brewing British artist. Respect again Dennis Rowe and Muscle Head.
Im a white man and as a Kid I lived on the Wandsworth road, Lansdowne green estate and was the best time of my life, i had black and white friends and creed was nothing in the day. i used to see smiley most of the time and this mans songs pull at my heart strings as it was a mixed culture we all enjoyed, nowadays its gangs guns and knives. let the music rule!!!
@Laura Nwogu always one to jump in with negative vibes. You know as well as everybody else this comment had nothing but good intentions why try and start 🤦♂️ Nigerian to what I can only assume by your last name Nigerian, let it go 👌
Still sounds solid in 2024, my older sister had this on 12” & when I first heard this I switched from a wannabe Mod to all genres of music, Especially Electro, HipHop, Roots n Reggae rhythms… little skinheaded white boy found the best culture to follow RIP Smiley & my big Sis Vann ❤
I was working at London transport wembley depot at the time, a proper mix of people, kicked off regually in the mornings, me and a guy called clive used to stand on the tables and sing this song....fking great times god bless. Sweet as a nut, level vibes.
His work transcends decades! The culture back then was amazing, I agree with all of these other comments from my generation, It was about the Music not guns and violence! Oh My Days, the festivals, priceless memories. RIP Smiley Culture, you live on as a Legend for me and so many others. Thank you for your musical genius!
an extreme talent who's wit and personality shines from his work, RIP smiley, am truely shocked and saddened! First attempt at bridging the gap, truely ahead of his time! Shoudda rode the wave of success for longer! RE RELEASE RE RELEASE! xxx

Based on all the information that I have given you about New Scotland Yard raiding Brixton Police station in mid 80's, I think you have a cheek to tell me that I'm getting too defensive after I gave you the facts about PC Edward Prince Vs Nyrone Games. Your comments are no different from a someone being called a Baboon at work every day for 5 yrs, then when he puts in a grievance, you turn it around by saying that he's got a chip on his shoulder. Your totally oblivious to the facts underlined!
Cockney Translation was a lyrical work of art. May God bless you smiley.
I'm 52 still listening to him

Based on all the information that I have given you about New Scotland Yard raiding Brixton Police station in mid 80's, I think you have a cheek to tell me that I'm getting too defensive after I gave you the facts about PC Edward Prince Vs Nyrone Games. Your comments are no different from a someone being called a Baboon at work every day for 5 yrs, then when he puts in a grievance, you turn it around by saying that he's got a chip on his shoulder.
Your totally oblivious to the facts underlined!
RIP man, cheers for the smiles back then. Thoughts to your family man, catch you later bro.......
RIP Smiley - Legend.

@fezzilla The same cool kids that over use the word "respect", do they know what it means...?
