a rather "weird" song he did for the 1970 Festival Song competition - they finished 2nd.
I don't know how to post links so:

In reply to JoeGrine Pretty good - nice Afro beat too.
That got very little airplay.

Distinctly mento (Afro beat).
it got significant airplay that year, after all the song finished second in the Festival Song Contest.
At that time, rock-steady and reggae ruled the competition, Jamaica was not ready for this submission.
