Read the warning first 
If anyone is on deadly ground it's Steven, he most certainly did not write Lollipop, he wasn't even in the business when it was first recorded. I can't believe he would be stupid enough to claim it as his own, so maybe it was a typo. It could certainly be his arrangement - though it's damn close to the original. Perhaps there is a lesson there not to believe everything he claims - cos sadly lots don't add up - just accept he is as falable as most, and enjoy what he has to offer.
Definately not a new version, and whatever the get out, HE, certainly didn't write it! My guess is, that it should be arrangement by SS not written - the words are exactly the same as in the sixties. Have to say though, his version is fantastic, the best I have ever heard - and I have heard some renditions of Lollipop over the years.
I have now listened to the entire albun several times, must confess the first time I heard it, I thought it was poor, but then I played it again several times on a really good system, and have had a remarkable change of heart on.
I still think tracks one and two are poor - boring and not that well sung - or maybe his voice is not right for them. 3 is great, can't fault it, and his guitar is fantastic.
4. Better Man is also great, and he reminds me a lot of Eric Clapton on this track. 5 Route 23 fab and again his great guitar is a joy to hear. 6 My God, A bit preachy (I know there is no such word!) and not sure in the current world situation if it is also not a little contentious, but it's the one I can't stop singing. 7. Lollipop - His voice on this is great and he seems to love singing it - the best. 8. Not for sale. Brilliant and he sounds great. 9. Another great track where he comes over so well. 10 Jealousy - not sure about this one, I think this was written from the heart, and is one that many artistes would identify with, but not sure the swearing goes with the Buddhist image.
11 and 12 don't think the Jamaican accent and style is for him, his voice is not strong enough. 13 Garee is a good track but not great, and fianlly, the light - too Eastern for me, but very well done, and a great track. The only thing I cannot understand is, why release it in France - and show no signs of releasing it anywhere else. this is not a cheap shove together quickly CD. It has been recorded and mixed and high quality venues, the packaging is good it is on a par production and cost wise with any of the top recording artistes - so why go to all that trouble to produce such a quality product without any publicity for such a limited audience?

He could tell me himself if I we're misbehaving if we were seen together,
and then he could discipline me too, hehehe...
So eat your heart out, because he's gonna be with me someday...
How can I not defend him?
She just called him stupid...
This is a fan site lest we forget, we're supposed to be honoring him, not dissing him...
He is not a stupid man by any means...

What the....!!!
Actually I didn't call him stupid - I said I can't believe he would be that stupid - in other words, well I can't put it any plainer, if you can't grasp that, what's the use of trying to explain. Lotusann, Have you ever seen My giant, the part where the little boy insults him down the phone - he agreed to that, he can take it, he really doesn't need simpering females twittering at his feet. The man is fallible, stop trying to make him into a God that can never be - and he would certainly hate.

Tiggy, I have no doubt he can take it and I know he's just a man, if I put him on a pedastal, it's only because I want to, and it's totally my choice, so please, don't tell me what to do...
If I got the chance to meet him, and he didn't like the way I was treating him, then he could ask me to stop...
Until then, I think I will continue to be his fan the way I see fit...
We are all fans in different ways, this is my way...
