'Pipe' and 'Bread' teamed up with two other singers after that, Oswald Downes and Norman Davis, and recorded the single "Gold Digger" for producer, Lloyd "Matador" Daley. From there they went on to work with Coxsone Dodd's famous Studio One label recording label, considered the "Motown" of Jamaica.
They recorded a number of singles there, and were also billed as the Classics, in addition to their Wailing Souls name. In the early 70's, the Souls recorded for Bob Marley's Tuff Gong label, as Pipe and The Pipes. There at Tuff Gong they had hits with "Harbor Shark" and "Back Biter". The groups vocal power, and song writing ability has kept the group in the spotlight, and in 1974 the group changed again when Downes and David left and 'Buddy' Haye rejoined. The 'godfather of reggae', Joe Higgs, also worked with the group in the mid-70's, but left to work with Jimmy Cliff as his musical director on tour.
The group entered another era of their careers as they began work with famed producer "Jo Jo" Hookim and his Channel One label. With Hookim, they recorded more classics like "Things and Times," "Joy With Your Heart," and "Very Well." Shortly after in 1976, Rudolph 'Garth' Dennis one of founding members of Black Uhuru, joined the group.
The Souls then started their own label in 1977 called Massive, and hit with their first singles "Bredda Gravilicious" and "Feel The Spirit." In the early 80's the quartet worked with a number of hot producers including Sly and Robbie recording "Old Broom"on their Taxi Label, "Fire House Rock" for "Junjo" Lawes' Volcano Label, and for producer/singer Linval Thompson.
Their touring and recording continued throughout the 80's. After recording these classic tracks for genius producer King Jammy in 1988-89, the group broke up again, but Pipe and Bread have continued the Wailing Souls on their own throughout the 90's recording (two Grammy nominated albums included) and touring worldwide. 'Garth' Dennis rejoined Black Uhuru to work with them in the early/mid 90's and "Buddy" Haye has taken a leave from singing since.

Hear the children crying (One love)

Forty is a number composed of five (symbolizing grace) times 8 (symbolizing a new beginning). It is therefore only by God's grace and love that man will someday be given a chance for a new beginning, as promised in the Word of God.
must watch May 5, 1941 H.I.M returns to Addis Ababa VICTORY DAY !

Haile Selassie, in the name of the Ethiopian people, had placed a solid silver wreath at the Lincoln memorial in 1963 at his second visit to the united states of America witch was to become a permanent part of the memorial ! It was the second day of H.I.M´s 8 days visit to the us.
49 days later J.F.K got assasinated ! 7*7 = 49

(In 1963 Rutherford Hayes Platt had made a reprint of The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden)
After Haile Selassie had placed the silver wreath, mr.(udahl) reads from the board “that these dead shall not have died in vain and that
under God this nation shall have a new birth of freedom and a government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perisch from this earth !
(before it was „George Washington“)
The silver wreath was made out of 580 Ethiopian silver coins ( 5*80 = 400 ) (a new birth of freedom for the american people after 400 years of slavery in America ? )
Forty is a number composed of five (symbolizing grace) times 8 (symbolizing a new beginning). It is therefore only by God's grace and love that man will someday be given a chance for a new beginning, as promised in the Word of God.)
Lincoln as well as Kennedy had struggled for the equality of all men regardless of color or creed.
President J.F. Kennedy had been assassinated 50 days after H.I.M´s 8 days visitation to the united states of america !!!
After the 7 weeks of the spring harvest, the next day, the 50th day, is Pentecost. This day is also the eighth day of the seventh week. This 8th and 50th day combination pictures the first resurrection when the saints will be raised from the dead and made immortal (1Corinthians 15:20 - 23, John 3:3 - 12, Revelation 20:4 - 6). After the 7 days of the Feast of Tabernacles there is an 8th day, called the Last Great Day.
Happy = 5 leters & Birthday = 8 „happy birthday Mr.president , happy birthday
to you !
Kennedy Memorial Library opened on Emperor Haile Selassie's 78th Birthday, July 1970

Jah Jah give us life to live, so let us live
So, don't feel no way, when I-man say
Jah Jah give us life to live, so let us live
Oh yeah, don't feel no way, when I-man say

Too much injustice, is upon the land
Yet my brother-man, he makes no plan

Vocês são lindos demais
@seanwilliams5678
Simple lyrics, yet relatable. The chorus and title powerful beyond measure. But more importantly, those instruments, especially the drums that pounds deep into the soul and consciousness. Pipey's lead vocals carry those words to perfection. The quintessential Reggae voice. A classic in every sense.
