Now That We Found Love/ Try Jah Love/ Sense Of Purpose ....

Has Stayin' Alive won yet?

Most definitely .... the 12" of Now That We found Love is one hell of a jam.
The album "You`ve Got The Power " which had some Stevie input on "Try Jah Love" and " and "You`re Playing Us Too Close" , which are great tracks lyrically and musically , but the other tracks are just as good - a strong album.

I bought the follow up "All the way Strong" which was good in parts especially "Lagos Jump" and "Love Is Out To Get You" , but not as good as the previous album.

I never heard or bought anything else from this point , apart from a Cd single which contained a disappointing remix of "Now That We Found Love" a few years ago (well it could have been up to ten years ago , time flies when you get older !).

Around the time I was digging Third World , I picked up a few reggae falva`d vibes including "Go Deh Yaka" by Monyaka and Johnny B Goode by Peter Tosh and "Halfway Up , Halfway Down " by Dennis Edwards , I think there was some Eddy Grant in there as well (but that could have been a bit earlier - damn I had no memory or sense of time back then either !).

Cool tunes ... is there a reggae revival due ?

Stevie has given away some gems.

I was going to say New Zealand was a third world country, but just realised Third world were a seminal 70s band and yes I did like Now that weve found love. But even better than them if you like that stuff, the magical sound of the Congos, by the Congos, a group of nyabinghi drummers.

You just listed all my favorites. Another one I like is "How Can It Be Forbidden If It's Love".

I used to love "When are you gonna start doing something for yourself/ and stop relying on someone else/ cuz you & me together..." way back when.

Girl from Hiroshima was pretty, too

And didn't Try Jah Love have Stevie on piano?
