This is a truly, truly great all time classic track and a fantastic version of Marley's 'Soul Rebel'. Along with Big Youth, U.Roy was one of the pioneers of 'toasting'. I'll be blasting out his Natty Rebel LP later today!!
Legend has it that one morning Jamaica woke up and U Roy was number 1 2 3 4 and 5 in the charts. I seen him about 5 year ago down the 100 club in Oxford Street although he was getting on he still had that magnetism that great artists are gifted with.
