...and Movering.
U Roy / Strihev All Stars – The Right To Live / Movering Black Art Vinyl, 7", 45 RPM, Jamaica, 1975 Info I hate conversations about "authenticity." Pretentious discussions about whether something counts as "creativity" make me run. Nothing's new, we all steal ideas, who cares? Case in point: today's record, another single by the mighty U-Roy (RIP). On The Right To Live from 1975, U-Roy lays down his own lyrics about living on the run and escaping a prison death sentence over a version of Cornell Campbell's I Gotta Keep On Running from the same year. Campbell's cut followed the Wailers' Keep On Moving from a few years earlier. Song writing credit on the U-Roy and Campbell discs are given to "Robert Marley," but the Wailers had in turn been riffing on the Impressions' 1964 Keep On Movin' , written by Curtis Mayfield. U-Roy's single was released on two different labels, one of which was Lee "Scratch" Perry
