    Default "you are my sunshine" - reggae version

    Hi to all,
    I would like to identify the title and performer of the song
    "You are my sunshine,
    my only sunshine,
    you make me happy..."
    I think the song is released somewhere in 80's (probably end of).
    Thank you

    Thanks for the tipp.
    I just heard it, and unfortunately that is not the song I was looking for. This song is although reggae more disco. I know that east and west are also mentioned in this song.

    PAPA WINNIE | Rootsie & Bootsie - You Are My Sunshine Lyrics

    The dance hall has to ram, the dance hall has to ram
    It has to ram in a style and fashion
    The nation has to jam, the nation has to jam
    We gonna jam in a style and pattern
    Because is I, Papa Winnie, on the microphone stand
    The people doesn't know where I really come from
    Me tall, me no short, me slim, me not fat
    And everytime I rap, me say

    You are my sunshine my only sunshine
    You make me happy, when skies are gray
    You never know, Dear, how much I love you
    So please don't take my sunshine away

    You are the woman, and I am the man
    And everything we do, jah knows we do it real strong
    We are just modeling up the dance hall, is a style and fashion
    Me and my girl, her name is Liana
    The talk of the town, is that we have two babies, twins
    One of them fat and one of then slim
    We call them Rootsie, Rootsie,
    Rootsie and Rootsie, Rootsie, Rootsie, Rootsie and Boops

    You are my sunshine my only sunshine
    You make me happy, when skies are gray
    You never know, Dear, how much I love you
    So please don't take my sunshine away

    Sufferation in the land, sufferation in the land
    Killing al my nation, Lord I can't understand
    Famine in the land, tribulation getting strong
    they always have a plan to fool we Africans
    Creating war in the East
    War in the West
    War in the North
    And war in the South
    If love were a thing that money can buy
    The rich man would live, and the poor man would die

    You are my sunshine my only sunshine
    You make me happy, when skies are gray
    You never know, Dear, how much I love you
    So please don't take my sunshine away.
    there's a very short clip HERE
