Top 10(ish) Reggae

[Corabar Steve]

Following from this thread (http://www.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=75390#post75390) What are your top tracks of the genre? (please only list tracks that are proven to actually work in a mobile disco situation & not just because they are of a certain genre. Also must be suitable for all ages)

It doesn't matter if you post a track that somebody else has, the idea is to find good useable tracks of the genre that are proven to work for mobile DJs

Please Stick to the specific genre in the thread title

Make the lists as long as you like as long as they are useable

Some we play are :-

Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley
Three Little Birds - Bob Marley
Don’t Worry, Be Happy – Bobby McFerrin
Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs
Red, Red wine – UB40
Kingston Town – UB40
Wonderful World, Beautiful People – Jimmy Cliff
Help Me Make It Through The Night – John Holt
I want To Wake Up With You – John Holt
Fatty Bum Bum – Carl Malcolm
Sweat – Inner Circle
Montego Bay – Freddy Notes & The Rudies
Caribbean Queen – Billy Ocean
Dreadlock Holiday - 10cc
I Don’t Wanna Dance – Eddy Grant
Wet Dream – Max Romeo

I know a few are "pop reggae" rather than traditional, but they mix well and go down with the audience.

Almost any Marley / UB40 track is good and light ska as well.
