How many hit songs do Sir Shina Peters and Fatai Rolling Dollar have each?


I wouldn't call them legends.

In the future now, we will be calling Tunde ednut or Sean Tizzle or Humblesmith musical legends

Please where is Sir Warrior. The man whose hand on guitar can raise the dead. The list is incomplete without him. Go and listen to one his last songs. Ebea chigaa chigaa oo' and then remake this list

Sir Warrior does not play guitar, it was Kabaka that plays guitar for the band and was the alleged song writer. Sir Warrior was the vocalist for oriental brothers before the split.

I feel so so so much insulted that you have to pit Flavour in the same list of these men. I wasn't going to comment about your juju and highlife music description because it's certain you don't know the difference between both and the genre the musicians you had listed belong, you left out names of the main highlifers and juju artistes. Obviously, you didn't listen to these music in its prime.

You call Ositadebe you are adding Flavour? No be only flavor na Aroma.
No disrespect to Flavour though. These men are legends, you haven't gotten there yet

Chief Dr. Orlando Owoh

Orlando Owoh (born as February 14, 1932
– November 4, 2008) was a highlife
musician and band leader. Owoh was born
Stephen Oladipupo Owomoyela in Osogbo,
Nigeria. He was a member of the Ifon
people ethnic group, his Father hailed from
Ifon while his mother was from Owo. He
later became known to his fans as Chief
Dr. Orlando Owoh. As a young man Owoh
initially entered into the carpentry trade
until 1958, when he was hired by Nigeria's
Kola Ogunmola Theatre Group to play
drums and sing. Owoh went on to form Dr.
Orlando Owoh and his Omimah Band in
1960, and over a musical career of forty
years became one of the leading

Young Kenneries and the African

to the newer jùjú and fuji styles. He had
over 45 albums to his credit.

and was laid to rest at his Agege residence
in Lagos, Nigeria.[1]

Baba lal'agbon Orlando Owo is missing in the list. Moreso, Rolling dollar is from Ede, Osun State not Oyo.

Victor Uwaifo is also different from Victor Olaiya(The pioneer of juju music)


Cc robosky02
I concur Orlando Owoh needs to be there. Robosky02, check out "ma wo mi roro" on YouTube.
