Was playing some Rod Taylor yesterday, it’s a simple but really great Bassline so I explored it more and it’s known by quite a few riddims , one being He Prayed Riddim, there’s so many tracks , pablo, Dillinger, burning spear, big youth, and of course Scientist Extra time one 

and Ice cream love has a nice variation to it

Thanks for sharing BT, I know the song from a long time back but didn’t know it was a cover, cheers

Yeah, Richie had it on "Richard P. Havens, 1983", in 1968 I think, whilst Bob did it in '71 IMS.

Also in '71, Dutch vocal group The Revells did a haunting non-album version as "Indian ropeman", which is on one of the compilations called "Psych Bites". That's the version that has followed me for 53 years.
Lurve it. Not reggae, mind.

 I'm planning a mix (got a DJ set in a couple of weeks) and that was my thinking: A few versions of Real Rock mixed up, (including the Original and the Scientist version), then that 'Johnny Osbourne perhaps leading into Ice Cream Lover and then Under Me Sensi, then Under Me Sleng Teng.

 

Currently getting into the 'Im Still In Love With You' Riddim, probably going from that into 'No No No' (Dawn Penn going into the Joe Gibbs version). 

 

......although when it actually comes to it live, that will probably all be out of the window!

Sounds great, I went through that riddim once and found some great stuff, I’ll look later and try to find it
