AboutGeorge Armstrong Expertise I can answer questions about the music, the artists, the instruments, vocal and recording techniques, and many other aspects. I'm not Ras Tafarian, but I understand the culture and I love the music. My key interests are Dub, female artists, the influence of blues, and titles that express love and family support.
Experience I've been playing lead guitar and studying music for over 40 years. I've never played in a Reggae band. However, I've been studying Reggae on and off since the 1970's. I spend about 1 or 2 hours a week studying Reggae and Dub.
Education/Credentials I've paid my dues in the dance pit at The Wild Hair And Singing Armadillo Frog Sanctuary. Aside from that, I have a degree in Computer Science, and post graduate studies.
Question Hi, i am trying to name the male artist who sang a song about crying. It used the Mad Cobra/Buju Banton FLEX riddim, came out around 1992-93. Words in the song: there she goes again with my best friends (or words similar),you have gone with my best friend, crying, you got me crying over you. It is definetly not UB40 or Ken Boothe, thanks.
Answer Hello Jo,
I've listed all of the 1992 releases with the Cobra FLEX riddim. They
are all on the Shang Label. I suggest it may be one of these, although the titles don't seem to fit crying. I hope this helps! Regards, George
