I think Nel Oliver is from Benin Republic.

Please naptu2, what of 'Ririovara' by Edna Ogholi This song should be in top 100 (though I don't understand the language)

warrenweste:

jnrbayano:

*If I have the wings like a dove* *I love children everywhere* *Gini ka I na-eme oge ncha*
Where is that "child star" right now?

Good recall
I don't know her name or whereabouts.

Ishilove:
Can someone remind me of Dizzy K's most popular song? Can't remember the tune

I can't remember all the words, but it goes something like this (I've posted asterix in place of words that I've forgotten).

It's been **** years since we met each other,
But you *****
You rejected my love,
Baby Kilode!

And the guitar goes du du du du du dum dum dum.

I love you, I love you, I'll never let you go,
Baby kilode!

You are referring to one of two people.

1) From my memory, Wings of A Dove was sung by Yvonne Maha.

2) And Gini ka I na-eme oge ncha was sung by Chi Chi of Africa.

By the way, I think the person that sang about going to school was Tosin Jegede.

I don't know where Yvonne Maha is, but Chi Chi of Africa was Dele Momodu's personal assistant in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

naptu2:


Do you remember the Bobby Benson Show? It was shown on NTA in the '70s. He used to perform magic tricks, tell jokes and sing. I think it was recorded at his hotel.

I'm not quite sure.

It was Ojugbana's version of taxi driver that drew me to Bobby Benson.

I decided to choose between it and Obaro and I chose Obaro (Obaro is in the list).

Nice compilation !

Threads like this make me watch the way I relate with people online.Old people plenty for nairaland o.

You never can tell who is behind that keyboard.

naptu2 thanks for the list.Time to raid YouTube

Na wa for you oooo, I 've gone through your list, neither Victor Uwaifo's 'joromi', nor ' Akhuankhuan Ekassa' (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enyvs9f9VnM). Even Rex Lawson 'Iworiwo' is missing. Hmmm

Joromi is on the list. So also is Guitar Boy (Mammy Water). How can I exclude Joromi?

Bro, you senior me hooha.

Nice compilation! No argument.

Na old people comment pass for this post. Nothing like name calling or checking. It was purely cool. The posts were short, simple and a reflection of maturity. I wish we young people can follow suit. God bless old people and preserve the young ones.

The artist is Christy Essien Igbokwe. The title of the song is either Hear The Call or Hear The Children.

naptu2:


Two of Alex O's songs are in the list (Do It In The Name Of Love and Banana).

I knew I was mentioning someone already in your list but what if the others especially that Edmund Spice?

@ Naptu; This is a fabulous compilation. Thumbs up! However, I think you missed out on the likes of Tunde Nightingale, Dayo Kujoore, and Dele Abiodun. Their songs remain evergreen.
I also feel there should have been a mention of the trio of Yusuf Olatunji, Aruna Ishola, and Ayinla Omowura. These folks didn't die with their songs.
Yusuf Olatunji's songs in particular are always a lullaby to me.

Regards,

Do u remember that song?? And do u have any chi chi of Africa song or any tyba onwaduwe songs or do u have back to the basics ?

Wow!Honestly,this is the only thread that I have enjoyed so much on nairaland.Kudos to Naptu2 and everybody that commented with maturity.

I did not see one song by a Yoruba lady whose name I have forgotten, but the song is titled "bata mi". There were also some songs by Oliver de Coque as well as the Egedege the Queen of Culture.
