Oh! Thanks. I didn't know it was Angelique Kidjo by any stretch of imagination. That woman is a LEGEND

My pleasure. That was her first major hit. It's the song that made her popular (then there was Voodoo Child, etc).

This is an absolute classic. It was originally done by Dr Victor Olaiya. It was covered by Art Alade in the 1980s and I watched him perform it many times on the Art Alade Show. Lieutenant Shotgun covered it in the 1990s and Dr Victor Olaiya remixed it again and this time he had 2Face Idibia with him.

Here I am in 2020 trying to remember 'lieutenant shortgun'.
The song keeps popping in my head for some days.
Sad I can't find his version online.

It was originally sung by Dr Victor Olaiya in the 1960s. I posted a video of that version in 2016, but as you can see, it is no longer on YouTube.

Tade Ogidan got some Nollywood stars together to do a cover version in 2008. Richard Mofe Damijo was the lead singer.

And finally, the originator did it again. Premier Music convinced Dr Olaiya to remix most of his 1950s and '60s hits.

In this video he is performing at his hotel, the famous Stadium Hotel in Surulere.
