Reggaeklassieker du jour: Baby I love you so

Wie jarig is trakteert, dat is algemeen bekend.
Uw toverbal van de dag uit de krochten van mijn geheugen met enige hulp van het onvolprezen Net – een plaat die ik pakweg 32 jaar geleden regelmatig op de radio draaide. Geschreven door Augustus Pablo. Zang: Lorita Grahame.

Baby I love you so
And this is what I really know
And if you should ever leave and go away
Baby I’ll be slaving every day
Night and day I’ll pray
That love will come my way

Baby I’ll be slaving every day
Night and day I’ll pray
That love will come my way

(You are now entering the demarkation area
I want to meet this Duke
You can’t meet the Duke. Are you crazy? Nobody gets to meet the Duke
You meet him once then you’re dead.)

(We’re going down. We’re going to crash
You now have the option to terminate and be cremated on the premises
This is Delta 4, North Bay, Gate 17. I have an escape in progress
Object admits that it will be climbing the wall
Two in the water, dead
Very well
Air traffic, this is Remy)


Baby I love you so, Colourbox, 1986.
