My Beatle Busters are on their way! The only thing I want to say is Let Jah Be Praised (or is it Let Gile be praised?, sounds almost the same aint it?)

Not sure if gbougard has already busted reference to this here…but today I was listening to a great a great reggae mix and the song "I Chase the Devil" by Max Romeo came on and I realized that this is the first two lines of the chorus...

I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase satan out of urt
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase the devil out of urt

Bunny Rugs is best known for being the lead singer of Reggae supergroup Third World. What is less well known about him (and its a shame I think) is that he started his career singing for Lee Perry.

Here is a heavy cover of "Be thankful" from 1973. It was included in a CD of Bunny's tracks recorded with Lee Perry that I released about 10 years ago on my TABOU1 label. RAW!!! It did not sell much but I was proud to have done it because I love Lee Perry and I ADORE Rugs.

Oh hell ya! This is an amazing song and I've never heard this laid back, dubbed out version before. You should be proud. The fact that you released it is awesome. Jah is truly mighty.

I like this version better

Truth be told: I dug it out and re-released it. The original release was in 1974. I've known Bunny RUgs and the rest of the Third World crew for years and Rugs had never mentioned that he'd recorded many songs for Lee Perry until I stumbled on a song which sounded like his voice, but by a singer called Bunny Scott. I called Rugs and told him that this guy sounded like him, and Rugs told me it was him, but that Lee Perry had decided to rename him as Scott, so that "he would sell well in Scotland"!!! After more research, I found sides recorded under Bunny Clarke, Bunny Scott and some other similar names.

The album was originally released as "To Love Somebody" and contained another wicked cover: "Use Me", man what a wicked wicked voice!
