Thank you for posting this! I remember when my father sang this song to me as a child. I almost cried when I finally got a chance to hear the song, thank you. "Mr Harding can't burn! The story behind makes me appreciate my history and culture.
I don't know why people say this came out in 1983, this song came out in 1982, that was the first time he won the crown, he did song a long with sugar made us free.
I enjoy listening to these classics. They never grow old no matter how often I hear them. I have been searching for another of RPB's songs - "Dey Publish IT" I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone suggest where it can be found?
This was the way we celebrate end of cane season, what we now called crop over. What RPB saying is , don't matter what you do, the difficulties and hardship is always there.
He's come such a long way since then. Very cleverly written song.
One can learn a lot from social commentary. This is real music! You can still move and groove to it.
