Just have to give a nod to the fact that the voice of thunder himself,
Prince Far I, has been mentioned on boc-l.

If you like deep dub reggae and you've never heard the albums Far I did
(with the Singers and Players) on On-U Sound in the 80s... you should.
This guy's voice was like an earthquake. "Bedward the Flying
Preacher"... Jamaican dub doesn't get much better.
