"You say that the black man is a different breed than the rest of humanity on the grounds of skin color."
No. I am saying that i have yet to see a good white reggae band/artist. I have no idea why there hasn't been anyone good but i cant change that.

maybe the simple fact that black people have been the most productive in the reggae scene by far.

Sly & Robbie has worked with Grace Jones but that doesnt make her a reggae singer.

I thougt that the topic was "White artists recording reggae in JA".
It´s difficult to say what a reggae singer is, Bob Marley doesn´t belong to that category, isn´t it Jah Glu?

Serge Gainsbourg: Aux armes, etc. has been in my personal reggae album top 10 since I first heard the album. There's one cheesy non reggae song you have to ignore, but the rest of the album is Excellent!
The story goes he wrote all the songs on the plane from France to JA.
