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.

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!

The KING is back. At long last a new Dr. Dre tune. The only thing is that they should wipe out Akon's part and get Eminem instead…

Party track = Chaka Demus & Pliers another Sly & Robbie production. Came out in 92, still sounds fresh after nearly 20 years. Bad!
and this one "Twist and shout"

Here is video I really like. It was filmed during the recording sessions for Bitty McLean's upcoming album. Robbie looks like an African statue, barely moving and delivering a thunderous bassline which makes Sly's furious drum beat groove and groove and groove… They have HUGE speakers in that studio (about 1.20 meter tall and 2 meters wide) and they crank the sound volume to unbearable (but oh so nice) levels while they work. Crazy shit.

One of my favorite scenes from Rockers, as I would say.
Here's my other.
I and I control to the fullness.
