I remember when we had a reunion (in 2008 or 2009). This song came on and there was a 70 year old man who couldn't control himself anymore. He just had to dance.

CHECK OUT THE RHYTHM ON THIS SONG! I haven't even gotten to the excellent guitar playing, just check out the rhythm!

Now, for those of you that don't know, (1) these were secondary school kids. They were students at St Gregory's College when they released this track (2) This song was done in 1974. (3) They played the instruments themselves.



Now, just listen to this song.


Ofege - Nobody Fails (1974).

The song on number 104 of the list is absolute beauty for me. I so much love this song growing up. I learnt he used to play back up for Micheal Jackson then.


naptu2:


That song is hypnotic. The bass is incredible.


naptu2:
Tell me, if you know the city called Sodom.

The people suffer power starvation.
The people. . . . corruption.
The students suffer mass detention.

Tell me, if you know the city called Sodom.

By now, you should know the city called Sodom.

Terra Kota (Gboyega Femi) - Lamentations For Sodom (1984).


naptu2:
I can't find the single, so this is the whole album.

The opening sequence was actually in two parts. Everybody will remember the second part, but most might not remember the first part.

1st part.

We see him walk out of a building and get into a white S Class Mercedes Benz (W116). We follow him as he drives to NTA Kaduna, gets out of the car and goes into the building (the opening credits were rolling all through the journey and the band is playing a dramatic jazz tune).


2nd part.

He is on stage in the studio. The spotlight is on him and his band is behind him, in the darkness.

He talks about that day's show, the guests that will be on the show, the theme of the show and some of the songs that they are going to play. He sings or drags out the last word of every sentence and the band punctuates his sentences.

It's slowly building up to the moment that everybody is waiting for. Then it starts:


"Wel-come ev-er-y body
(Band: dadada dadadumdum
Dadadada dadadumdum)

For you and you and you and you
Ati iwo na!

(Band: dadada dadadumdum
Dadadada dadadumdum)

For you and you and you and you
Handekenya!


The Bala Miller Show.


I wish I could find a video of the episode in which he interviewed Kris Okotie (c1982)


naptu2:
wel-come every-body!

Well, this time he didn't sing wel-come every-body. Instead, he sang, "Ha-ppy view-ing to you".

The Bala Miller Show intro (1983).



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddis-6R2bcw

naptu2:
Aha! Remember what I said about smoking being normal back in the day. Notice that he lit up as soon as he began driving.


This is the intro to the Bala Miller Show (from 1983). It shows him coming out of his house and getting into a Mercedes Benz SL (R107). He liights up as soon as he drives out of the garage. Then he drives to NTA Kaduna and we see him go into the building. We also see that the guest for that week is Yvonne Maha.


Then it switches to the studio where he does his usual intro to the show.


Wel-come Ev-er-y Body!





naptu2:
This is the origin of the Bala Miller Show signature tune.

This song was a huge hit for Bala Miller and the Musical Pirameeds of Africa in the 1970s. He decided to use it as the signature tune of his TV show in the 1980s.

"Wait a minute", you might say. "That's not Bala Miller!"

Well, Bala Miller isn't the one singing. That's a member of the band called Abdullahi. Bala Miller is at the back (to the left), conducting the band.


Bala Miller and the Musical Pirameeds of Africa - Ikon Allah (performed on the Bala Miller Show in 1984).

Make sure you go through the list properly before saying that somebody is not on it, because most times they are already on the list. For example, both the original version and the cover version of Fuel For Love are on the list.

This is a popular Lagos Island folk song that Fela transformed into an amazing highlife song.

The original folk song is one of my favourite childhood songs. I could picture the scene in my head and I often imagined how it would be. The song is from the red and white part of Lagos Island, that is, the famous Lafiaji.

It's about kids that have been sent to sell dodo and moinmoin, but they didn't make much sales. Therefore, they did something crazy, mischievous to attract people grin.

Fela added some words to the end of the song and they made it funnier. He sang about the things that were thrown on his body when the fight started.

I have become seriously addicted to this song in the past few days.

naptu2 post=97196493:
Now let's go waaaay back to the afro-jazz era. Back before the politics. These are the Lagos songs.

This is heavily skewed towards the Yoruba side.

In the old days, music was region centric.

The South East and the south south had music that ruled their airwaves.

Wonder who compiled this list. To think that Barrister only has one hit track on the list is arguably not correct. Then Pasuma is not on the list. What happens to Orobokibo? That music was everywhere and a big hit.
Even Dagrin didn't make the list yet we have names like...

You said "Nigerian songs" yet I don't see the likes of Dr Mamman Shata,Dan Kwairo,Ali Makaho,Dan Maraya Jos on the list?? Only a Song of Bala Miller managed to be there? This list is indeed loop sided! These musicians are legends here in the north and some of us the love history still vibe to their songs because it has history embedded in their lyrics! You should have said southern Nigerian Songs instead

Don’t know why people always confuse “great”with the word “best”… a song could be a good song and not be a great song

When ever a yoruba person wrote about best this best that please check well before you fall for his tricks,I remembered when they gave the man that featured in Yemi my lover a yoruba movie as the best actor of year both in yoruba, English , hausa and igbo, every one was shouting but then no Internet or social media ,they will choose one song from a fuji musician from Ibadan then tell you how is the best song in nigeria,please we Nigerians listen to songs according to our tribes

Why not make your own list and quit lamenting like Jeremiah grin

I think that "K'anyi jikọta" by Osita Osadebe ought to be there among the top 10. But it isn't even on the entire list!

The leed guitar intro alone is enough to trigger memories anywhere across the country not to talk about the message in his lyrics..

Once you hear that guitar intro: Do mi so la re:
Omoooo
