God what a GREAT GREAT GREAT Song!!!!!!!!!! If you are not familiar with Juluka, or Johnny Clegg, you are in for a treat. Expect some African rhythms as a backbeat here and there, and some awesome chants here and there, amidst the majestic guitars and singing and lyrics of this abolsute masterpiece - of course this is just my opinion!! PLEASE give this a chance so you hear them harmonizing the chorus line, and check the lyrics. This comes from their LP Stand Your Ground, which was the follow-up to Scatterlings, another masterpiece that made it to CD along with the earlier Juluka LP's. After Juluka, Johnny Clegg recorded as Johnny Clegg & Savuka, with still more superb songs.....none of this amounts to new wave, but was big in some college radio circles circa 1983-1984. This was one of the finer bands to come out of South Africa, and I am always blown away by the power of their music. Enjoy.....and if you have not heard Scatterlings of Africa, it is a gem.

Of course, most might know of "Scatterlings of Africa" as it appeared on the Rain Man soundtrack. Great tune. Thanks Grunch.
