happy to say that i spoke to Madoo this morning after he listened to the song. he confirms that it's not him singing and further that he has never voiced for Channel 1. seems the tape box was correct as Madoo also named Horace Ferguson as a "youth who used to pirate him style" and he said that "nuff singers can't decide if they want to sound like me Madoo or Horace Andy or somewhere in between." a couple other well known singers who were 'bout the place this morning with me also listened to it (back to back with the flip side "Reality") and agree that it is Ferguson singing in a more Madoo-ish style, evidenced the phrasing and pronunciation and such. this is basically what i suspected when first hearing it, and then with the tape box info, just figured it was Ferguson inna little different style.
