The Heptones with Jah Lion - Mr. President

I included a little bit of Jah Lion's toast over the Police and Thieves rhythm, so you should recognise the first minute if you downloaded the other song.
Then it goes into the Heptones song, Mr. President. This version includes some vocal work from Jah Lion.
It includes on of my favourite lyrics - "come off of your big chair - I and I need our share".

This song was also produced by Lee Perry and is available on the album "Arkology", a compilation of his productions. The original (without Jah Lion) is available on the Heptones' album, "Party Time".

I'm not going to bother transcribing the lyrics.

tight, tight :D

I like police and thieves better though.

[Ortega]

Very tight.

[Rastafari]

I've listenened to this ever since you had it in your Sig.

[canikickit]

Non-stop!?

It's a good tune. You should check out the original, and check out Jah Lion's album, "Columbia Colly".

Jah Lion was the name given to Pat Francis when he went to record for Lee Perry. He more commonly recorded tracks under the name Jah Lloyd. Here's an interview with him from 1981.
