Michigan & Smiley - Reality Must Rule Again

Papa Michigan (born Anthony Fairclough) and General Smiley (born Erroll Bennett) were among the first dual-toasters on the first wave of Dancehall style in Jamaica. Beginning in the late 1970s while still in school, the humorous duo (Smiley got his name because he never smiles - not on this pic) scored immediately with "Rub a Dub Style" and a toasted Real Rock version named "Nice up the Dance".
