Waiting In Vain produced by Bob Marley, The Wailers, Bobby Digital for Record Factory, Island, Brickwall in 1977
Waiting In Vain Riddim – Record Factory, Island, Brickwall is a 1977 juggling built around Bob Marley and The Wailers’ classic Waiting in Vain, with later versions from Cocoa Tea, Cutty Ranks, Johnny Clarke, Dillinger, Yami Bolo, Singing Melody, and Nahlia Bird. The selection moves between roots singers and deejay energy, giving the riddim a broad vocal spread that reaches from Marley’s original love song to nineties cuts like Take You Out and African Woman. Bob Marley himself is credited on the original side, while the later Brickwall entries connect the rhythm to Bobby Digital’s production touch.
