Bro, I saw your earlier post, but your question took me on a journey that was sometimes frustrating. I'll tell you what happened.

I recognised the lyrics as soon as I saw your question (I knew that I had heard the song), but I couldn't remember the melody. It was so frustrating! I kept searching my mind, trying to remember where I had heard those words.

Then I remembered the melody yesterday night and it occurred to me that the song has been done more than once. There's a 1970s version and a 1990s version, but I couldn't remember the name of the song or who sang it. I wasted a lot of time because I wrongly believed that the 1970s version was done by Ofege.

Now I've found the '70s version. I'm hoping that someone will hear this and remember the name of the person that covered it in the '90s.

Wrinkers Experience - Fuel For Love.

Thanks Boss, I really appreciate your efforts. You're the man, I've been searching for quite some time now. Amazing Song.

I would have posted this video earlier if I had remembered.

This is taken from the Bala Miller Show in the early 1980s. Elder Steve Rhodes, Bala Miller and Gloria Rhodes (now Gloria Rhodes-Nash) perform some of the highlife anthems that are on this list.

It's quite interesting seeing Steve Rhodes attempt to sing in bini.

It's also fascinating the way Steve Rhodes combined his group with Bala Miller's band (those men really understood music).

By the way, does anybody have a clip of the episode of the Bala Miller Show in which Kris Okotie was the guest? The one in which he dressed like a superstar. I'd be very happy if somebody posts a clip of that episode.

3) Omo Pupa
4) Omo Laso
5) Joromi.

I want you by my side, be my guide." Pls can you help me get the name of the artiste and the title of the track. Thanks.
