I finally, 23 years after first hearing this song, came to learn enough about the Jamaican language to know what is meant by 'mass charlie ground'. It means Mr. Charlie's piece of land. "Mass" is short for 'master' and basically means 'Mr.". And 'ground' means a piece of land for cultivation of crops.
Heard this song on pandora four years ago. Listened to it and loved it and kept listening to other songs. I was devastated to learn that there was no back button and couldn't go listen to it again. I also couldn't remember the name. I spent DAYS listening to random Jamaican music until I found this song again. Fuck yeah!
I heard this song back in 2004 in a roots mix tape in a van...been looking for it ever since..Thanks to technology,( Shazam) that helped me identify the song..again in a mixtape in a bus while driving home today...planning to listen to it 10 times today...never knew it's a song done by wailing souls I would have played all their albums just to get this song..A great song..

Wailing Souls is one of the best reggae groups period. I think most can agree so many hit songs & irie beats from these guys. Timeless music...
Sure

It's a bit difficult to isolate the background harmonies blend with the lead vocals.
