After working as a labourer along with future members of The Gladiators, Thomas's break came with "Run Mr. Nigel Run", produced by Derrick Harriott.[1] This was followed by a successful association with producer Joe Gibbs, with hits following in the form of "God Bless The Children", "Mama's Song", "Rainy Night In Georgia" and "If I Had a Hammer".[1] He broke into the UK Top 10 in 1970 with "Love of the Common People" (later also a top 10 hit for Paul Young), a tour following, after which Thomas decided to stay in the United Kingdom, promoting a compilation of his work with Gibbs, also titled Love of the Common People. This was followed by his self-produced Tell It Like It Is album, featuring the near-hit "Yesterday Man", and the commentary on the lack of airplay for reggae records on Radio 1, "BBC".[1]
Thomas continued recording commercial reggae, working with the likes of Lloyd Charmers. In 1974, he toured the UK backed by the musicians who would later go on to become Misty In Roots.[
Have a Little Faith
Nicky Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just made a big mess o' your world
'Cause arm in arm they left you feelin' blue
She set a trap, you got caught
You should a took her with a grain o' salt
So have a little faith and love will come to you
So she's leavin' for somebody new
She's even got you believin'
Brush that teardrop off your face
And put a smile back in its place
Beyond the clouds the sky is always blue
Have a little faith and love will come to you
So don't be lonely and don't be blue
Your one and only is somewhere waitin' just for you
With two lovin' arms to hug your neck
Is right around the corner where you least expect
She'll be there with love to pull you through
Just have a little faith and love will come to you
The lyrics of Nicky Thomas's Have a Little Faith are an encouragement to anyone going through a tough time, particularly a break-up. The first verse tells the story of a man whose best friend and girlfriend have betrayed him, leaving him feeling blue. The lyrics suggest that he should have been more skeptical of her and not taken her at face value. However, the chorus reassures him that all is not lost - if he has a little faith, love will come to him eventually.
The second verse expands on this theme, acknowledging that it's easy to feel lonely after a break-up, but urging the listener not to give up hope. The lyrics suggest that there is someone out there for everyone, and that love will find you when you least expect it. The final line of the song sums up its message perfectly: "Just have a little faith and love will come to you."
Overall, the lyrics are a reminder that even when things seem desperate, there is always hope. By having faith and keeping a positive attitude, you can attract love and happiness into your life.

Pops itโs your anniversary today. Itโs three years since you ascended into heaven today. How I miss your warmth, kind, infectious smile and kind heart. Iโll never forget you being the best father anyone could ever ask for. I know you are guiding me through life from beyond the grave and you listen to me and my troubles if Iโm ever in doubt. They broke the mould when they made you. Fly high pops . You have earned your angel wings. Blessings

As a child in the early 70s I enjoyed listening and watching this record spin in the jukebox.

Memories of my pre-teen days in the 1970's. One of those rare black recordings to be played on Rhodesian airways from Jamaica apart from Bob & Marcia, Jimmy Cliff and Desmond Dekker. A true classic of Jamaican soul.
