Hard Man Fe Dead by the legendary Prince Buster. The trumpet solo halfway thru the song is by the late Johnny "Dizzy" Moore, whom I produced 11 years ago… We recorded an album of ska tracks which was a pleasure to work on.
If Prince Buster ever comes near you, go see him.
prince buster rules hard!

Robbie Robertson, former frontman for The Band, is putting out an album in a coupla months, and this is a song, I just keep playing it over and over… Reminds me of a long forgotten era, The Last Waltz, Bob Dylan, etc...
I just love the Wurlitzer piano during the chorus, and the simple guitar hook. Delicate, subtle, efficient... God bless American music. (I know, Robbie is Canadian, but you know what I mean)

Church Heathen by Shaggy, perfectly appropriate for a Sunday!!!
I've copied the lyrics because they are absolutely hilarious, but the heavy Jamaican accent makes it hard to understand the song.

Livicated to the man leaving to Africa soon
Franco, the biggest African star, in his club in Brazzaville/Kinshasa in the 70s. Imagine being there with that band playing for you, Giles. African beer galore
Another HUGE African star, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Not a bad club either! Commentary by Ginger Baker (Cream drummer who drove down to Nigeria to hang out and play with Fela). Notice its raining in the club.

I have a notion to post nothing but African shit during Sir Giles the first's trip to the craddle of the human race. So here is a nice soukous track featuring the living soukous guitar hero Diblo Dibala
