2011 sadly saw the passing away of Poly Styrene, the lead singer of the Punk band X-Ray Spex. I was a big fan of their album "Germ Free Adolescents". When I was reading Poly Styrene's eulogy in the newspaper I was surprised to find out that before X-Ray Spex, Poly recorded a reggae single. The song was called "Silly Billy" and it was released under the name "Mari Elliott" in 1976. It's a catchy little tune ... check it out ...
Ska, Soul, Two Tone, Rock Steady, Trojan Reggae, Sugar Oi and more
