I see those bastards at Lucozade have hijacked my idea for a new hotstep band by using my favorite Ini Kamoze track in their stupid TV adverts. Which was going to be the opening song in my set, but now any millennials in the crowd would be all "Oh, its the Lucozade song!"... so basically thats ****ing ruined it. 😟 

🎶 Ooh ohh, Vitalite 🎵

I'm old enough to have bought Desmond Dekker and the Aces' original my ears are alight,  not long after it was number 1 in the hit parade pop pickers.

I'm old enough to have paid his wages, once.

 Mr Tulip ? many forget it was initially american jazz from a calypso prospective ,,

charlie parker , louis jordan , many others, Johnny Ace,  a combination that eventually drove the sound into a heavier beat , a darker rolling, more serious at times approach to the basic bubble gum rock n roll pop turn around of the day ,
