If you're feeling glum have some coconut water with a little rum - so says Harry Belafonte in 'Coconut Woman'. Might heat me up a bit too. Got a lot of iron too, apparently...the coconut water, not the rum, I assume.

"make you strong like a lion.." - I'm off out for some...

My dear old Mum was a big fan of HB.

This was her fave track...

My good old Mum too, GT. This was her favourite - I can still hear her sing it.

Ezra Collective have been doing a series of programmes on 6 on the music of the dancefloor from various parts of the world. Prgramme 1 was Jamaica and they kicked off with this very young Errol Dunkley track, 'My Future Lies Ahead of Me', recorded for Prince Buster's record label - could that be Rico in there too?

Happy Caribbean Thursday - I wonder if it's the rainy season in Kingston?
