Whats your fave gem?

I can't get enough of Africa(The acoustic version) and "Everybody Love The Sunshine".

when you say Africa ( the acoustic version ) do you mean the all piano one, or does he have one with acoustic guitar as well. If so I'm with you I love the piano version of Africa!

The "acoustic version" of Africa is D and the piano..

Thats the only non-released version

I've heard his version of "Superman Lover" (by the late great Johnny Guitar Watson), and I have to say it's CRACKIN'!!!!!

Funky Drummer

Don't know if it's released, but I find his rendition of "She's Always in My

Hair" to be a gem

I could be wrong, but if you're interested on it "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" was actually released as an extra track on the "Untitled" CD single.

You´re right, I bought a copy back then...great version , but not much else is on it ( no remixes or different versions, just Untitled and that Roy Ayers cover)...

She´s Always In My Hair was on a soundtrack...I think the Scream soundtrack or I Know What You Did Last Summer or something like that, I´m not sure.

Scream 2

I need to get ahold of that piano version of "Africa"...

There's a WIIIILD song he did called "Water Get No Enemy" with Femi Kuti and Macy Gray. I found a preview of it in some DJ mixtape but couldn't find the damn thing complete anywhere.

Where is this song from? Can somebody give me an info.

Harlepolis said:

Theres a web site..I think its called BOO TUBE or something like that..

type this into google and see a video of the making of the track you are asking about !

"YouTube - Red Hot + Riot Recording Session (Fela Tribute)"

Wow,,,thanx a billiob

I like the material but NONE of it is really outstanding IMHO. I do like the Cover track, "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" the most.

Do you remember that thread awhile back where someone had a link to a zipped up version of a bunch of unreleased D stuff? I seem to remember that when it was unzipped the files were in a weird format, but did you get ahold of that too?

Oh man, don't get me started .. "Water get no enemy" is one of the dopest Fela Kuti tracks, it's on the B-Side of the "Expensive Shit" album, which is my favorite Fela record.
