I am the magnificent
I'm backed by the shack of a soul boast
Most turning storming sound soul
I am double-U, O, O, O
And I'm still up here again
Hey
Work, work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
Work it up one time
Work it on baby
Much, much, much, much
Give me one time
Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh
Break it up
Push your hips now
You're fine, baby
You're fine
I am the magnificent, double-U, O, O, O
Good God, too much, I like it
Soul party
Work it up one time, work it two time
Shack it, back it
I am the magnificent baby, double-U, O, O, O
Enter the shack at the back of your soul, baby
Work it out, huh
Hit me one time
Two time now

This song was produced by my dad (The Late Winston Riley) formally of the reggae iconic group "The Techniques"

Skinhead dance floor classic. Strobe lighting. Boots and Braces.
Late 60s Early 70s.
Skinheads Life Would Never Be The Same.

Everyone on my council estate had this album and was playing it all summer long in 1971. Trojan reggae brought white and black youth together. Spirit of ‘69.

My dad passed away last year and everytime we entered the pub he would head straight to the jukebox and play this tune and the of the trojan classics and the whole pub would say. Billy has entered the premises ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was 8 years old, the first song I really loved, don't know why, but it's never left me. Came looking today 52 years later.

I'm here, 67 years old and I love reggae as much now as when I was 15 dancing at the Howard Mallet in Cambridge. How I miss yesterday's music. Absolute rubbish nowadays!

Levis stay press, docers, ben sherman, braces and harrington jacket.Those were the days.

It doesn't seem like 50 years since this was a big hit in the UK, a real classic.

11 years old when it came out and first reggae tune I ever had heard ...life changer...opened my eyes to new musical possibilities and I’ve loved world music ever since.

Pure geniuis from Dave and Ansel. A simple melody but so many creative touches, beyond perfection!!!!

[DC-zgob]

Madness basically used this as the basis of their whole back catalogue.

[alessandromendes]

I am 42 years old, I have known this song since I was a simple little boy. My uncle always played this music at family parties. Here in Brazil, this song is known in all the peripheries.
