Additionally, the official copyright registration of *Electric Boogie* in the US Copyright Office indicates that the song was created by Neville Livingston (Bunny Wailer) in 1983, with a publication date in the U.S. on July 29, 1983 (PA0000195000). Marcia Griffiths is the original performer of the song, and Solomonic Music Ltd. (Bunny Wailer's record label) is the copyright claimant. As mentioned earlier, there is no physical or documented evidence of a recording prior to 1982, which reinforces that this song was written and recorded for the first time in late 1982 and officially released in 1983. I am willing to continue discussing and presenting additional evidence if necessary to reach a consensus based on direct and reliable sources. Nonetheless, I do not understand why you discredit the statements of Bunny Wailer and Marcia Griffiths, as they are the primary sources of this information.Cheers.

Wailer, we can conclude that if Ric L. Silver is referring to Marcia Griffiths' version, it was created in late 1982 and there is no Bunny Wailer version from 1976. Additionally, both Bunny Wailer and Marcia Griffiths have stated that Wailer was inspired to write the song 'Electric Boogie' by 'Electric Avenue' from Eddy Grant's album Killer on the Rampage, released in 1982. Based on the evidence I have presented, it is very likely that Silver received this recording in late 1982 or early 1983, before the official release. This is supported by the fact that the first edition of the song was released with no serial number or date, which might have led to confusion that it was a demo, but in reality, it was the release by Solomonic (Bunny Wailer's record label).

518:"Greetings, I'm Jamaican bassist Glen Browne, and today I'm going to show you how I played the original version of Marcia Griffiths' 'Electric Boogie.' You know that song? The one you do all the electric slide to? Yeah. This song was recorded around 1982, if I'm not mistaken, and this is the original version, the version that came before Bunny Wailer's version—it actually preceded Bunny Wailer's version. And then after that, you have the new version, which most people know, done around 1989, and you're still dancing to it. I hope you can do the electric slide. So I'm going to show you how I slide around on the instrument, on the bass, to give you that groove, OK? (...) 1148:

article.In this specific case, both Marcia Griffiths and Bunny Wailer have clarified that the song was written spontaneously in 1982, recorded for the first time that same year, and that its inspiration was Eddie Grant's 1982 song "Electric Avenue." While it's valuable to document what each source stated, we should also provide proper context by highlighting the authors' corrections. This approach prevents the perpetuation of inaccuracies and ensures that the article reflects not only the different perspectives but also the resolution of the informational dispute, which is part of Knowledge (XXG)'s goal to document the development of such discussions accurately.

1561:"Electric Boogie" was written by Neville Livingston and performed by Marcia Griffiths. Although Copyright Office registration records state that the musical work was created in 1983, there is an assertion in the record of this request for reconsideration that a demo copy of the song performed by Marcia Griffiths existed in 1976, and that this demo was used by Mr. Silver to create THE ELECTRIC and at the first performance of the dance at the Vamps dance club in 1976. Because the correct creation date does not affect the resolution of this claim in the choreographic work, the Review Board will assume that the facts as stated by the applicant are correct." 1499:

radically dissimilar from MG's 1982 song, that they are effectively different works with the same title, then we should put this to bed and go with what Altenmann and Serge advised: accounting for all the reliable sources. "Many reliable sources state that Bunny Wailer wrote a version of 'Electric Boogie' in 1976 (or 1978). A 45 record label indicates that Wailer copyrighted it in 1980. Wailer and Marcia Griffiths remember that Wailer used a funk box to write the 'Electric Avenue'-inspired version in 1982." Or some such. But none of your sources explicitly state that Wailer didn't work from a previous version to build the 1982 one. I also note that the

2228:*:::::"Reggae icon Marcia Griffiths has sought to set the record straight regarding the genesis of her mega-hit song Electric Boogie, which she says has been incorrectly described as being a cover version done by her, by many local and international media, including Essence Magazine, over the years. *:::::(...) "I am the original singer; he (Bunny Wailer) is the writer for the song and the producer – from my little rhythm box . So I didn’t jump on anything that was done before. We did it first," she added." *:::::-Gardner, C. (2021, February 26). Marcia Griffiths sets record straight about original version of “Electric Boogie” hit. DancehallMag 2114:), a 45 label dates the copyright to 1980, and all of the mostly primary sources about the 1983 MG version simply describe the making of the MG version; none effectively refute the assertion that there was some kind of prior version of the song. At this point, it's time to heed reliable sources, promote the spirit of cooperation and compromise, build an encyclopedia, and end warring. I don't "care" when the song originated. I care about citing reliable sources; I returned to editing when the academic library at which I work started hosting reliable sourcing editathons, and that has made up the bulk of my editing since. 153: 135: 716:

work as an author and reggae expert, has made significant contributions to documenting the life and career of Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, stating that the release of "Electric Boogie" occurred in late 1982 and early 1983, meaning there are no recordings of "Electric Boogie" prior to that year. Additionally, he has managed historical archives and participated in documentaries and conferences on the subject. Given his expertise and recognition in the field, it is reliable to cite him as a source on topics related to the history of reggae and these artists.

research. My conclusion, based on all the cited articles and books so far, is that BW wrote a version in the 1970s, and clearly worked with MG on her 1980s-style-production version, which is why sources peg hers to 1982 or 1983--a 1976 demo wouldn't, and couldn't for tech reasons, sound like a 1982 glossy reggae dance song. I admit that conclusion is partly original research and partly interpreting what the sources mean; you need to start doing the same, especially as the majority of reliable sources don't support your position. Cheers.

522:

on. The song was written by Bunny Wailer, so he could sing the song for me and guide me through it. But it was only keyboards and a drum track. Sometimes you have to work like that. Since it’s an 8-bar groove, you can basically get through it. Not too many changes, but you must get the groove right. Even the new version, although they kind of reproduced what was done originally, got the groove right. That's the most important thing, right? If you can't feel the groove, you can't make a move. So here we go." (Browne, 2020, September 5)

1698:

Additionally, I have referenced credible publications like The Gleaner, a well-established newspaper in Jamaica (which you also cite as a "reliable source"), to support the information I have added.My goal is to provide accurate and well-founded information that improves the quality of this article. If there are specific points you would like to discuss or if you have concerns about the sources I have used, I am open to constructive dialogue. Let’s work together to ensure that the information presented is accurate and reliable.

278:, therefore the discussion belongs to Talk:Electric Boogie. In any case, there are several sources, duly used in this article, coming directly from Griffiths and Wailer, and I fail to see how these sources can be more reliable than that. Please list your reliable sources that claim 1976 that we can review. Please keep in mind that in Knowledge (XXG) we see that quite often "reliable sources" uncritically copy wrong info from each other. -- 1012:

1874: 1886: 515:

Wailer, and he emphasizes that Griffiths’ version is the first and only original recording of the song, clarifying that no earlier recordings exist. This statement aligns with what both Griffiths and Wailer have said, dismissing any unfounded rumors about earlier versions before 1982. Browne's video thus becomes another valuable source for clarifying the history of "Electric Boogie." Below, I transcribe his words:

997:

However, in 1983, Sonic Sounds was still located at 14 Retirement Rd. Neville Lee moved Sonic Sounds to 25 Retirement Rd. a few years later when he needed more space for his pressing plant and office. If you look up the original release label online, you'll see it clearly shows "Solomonic" as the distributor. The label you are referring to is likely a repress, possibly with 1980 as a backdate.

and the Wailers: The Definitive Discography" (2021), the song was actually released in late 1982 and early 1983. Moreover, it is highly contradictory to assert that the song was written in 1976 when it was inspired by "Electric Avenue" by Eddie Grant, which was released in 1982. Even if a reputable publisher makes an error, it should not be maintained as fact without accurate corroboration.

based on a demo of "Electric Boogie" he received in 1976. Although the US Copyright Office accepted his account as accurate for the requested procedure, they clarified that "Electric Boogie" was created in 1983 according to official records. Since his media exposure, it has been incorrectly repeated that "Electric Boogie" was released by Wailer in 1976 and that the 1982 version is a cover.

22: 2251:"The Electric Slide started with the song 'Electric Boogie.' Written and recorded by Wailer (of Bob Marley’s reggae group The Wailers) in 1976, the song first garnered attention when Griffiths, a member of Marley’s famous backing group the I-Threes, covered it in 1982 and sent it to the top of the Jamaican charts." This is where the two versions confront each other. What do you think? 2145:

1980 PRS. Additionally, there is no documented evidence of a prior demo or references until after 2007, when Ric L. Silver claimed that the song had been used in a choreography he created in 1976—a claim that the media replicated without any verification. It’s important to note that these statements arose in the context of his attempt to legally register that choreography in his name.

414:

clarification. According to the authors themselves, the song was written in 1982, which corrects the erroneous claims made by some sources suggesting different dates. Given this, it is not logical to continue asserting that it was written in 1976. This direct information from the creators is crucial to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the historical records concerning the song.

386:

US Copyright Office arguing that he created his choreography based on a demo by Marcia Griffiths titled 'Electric Boogie' from 1976. It is important to note that he mentions Marcia Griffiths, not Bunny Wailer, which clarifies that there is no earlier version recorded by Bunny Wailer (please see the footnote on pages 5 and 6 of the attached document from the US Copyright Office).

1580:

techniques that did not exist in 1980, suggests a mislabeling error. This track also appears on Bunny Wailer's 1990 album "Just Be Nice," indicating that the 1980 date was likely a mistake in labeling, and the correct registration year is 1983, or perhaps 1990. In any case, there is no further record in PRS for "Electric Boogie" other than the registration on December 23, 1983.

701:, summer 2015 and it does say "originally recorded by Bunny Wailer in 1976". It does not give any details of the record. And the article is clearly sloppy, because the whole text there say "originally recorded by Bunny Wailer in 1976. In 1989 Marcia re-recorded...", thus skipping the 1982 recording (1983 release). And it plainly contradicts what Griffiths and Wailer say. -- 488:

Toronto while on tour with the I-Threes in that city (and emphasizes that it is not a cover), reaching the top of the Jamaican charts in early 1983. According to *The Montreal Gazette* on April 17, 1982, on page H6, the I-Threes did perform in Toronto on Sunday, April 11, 1982, also playing at the Toronto Airport Hotel, which aligns with Marcia's account.

1803:, especially with online blurbs: most of them just copycat from around elsewhere: make a reasonable judgement for authenticity. If the sources are not immediately readable (library book or behind paywall) then it is good to put the quotation in the footnote: this will both declutter the article text and make it easier for other wikipedians to verify. -- 2503:

which the vocals have been totally or partially removed) and toasting, which involves singing or paraphrasing a new song over a dub track. You can listen to it again at the attached link. Side B contains the single "Hook Line 'N Sinker," taken from the LP of the same name, recorded between January and March 1982 (as stated on the LP’s back cover).

1568:"existed" is based solely on the applicant’s word, without any evidence to confirm its existence. In other words, their statement is accepted as is, without any attempt to verify its accuracy. Additionally, the claim that Marcia Griffiths participated in a 1976 demo is not supported by any reliable sources, including Marcia Griffiths herself. 1656:

Additionally, the single SOL-0014 not only features instrumentation that did not exist in 1980 but also lists (c) 1980 PRS. Checking PRS records, there is no record for 1980, only for 1983. Furthermore, the Sonics Sounds address on the single corresponds to a location after 1983, as the company moved to a new address following that year.

500:

erroneously states that this occurred in 1976. It seems that all these elements carry enough weight to dismiss claims that the song was written or released in 1976, as there is no evidence supporting this. In fact, neither Marcia Griffiths nor Bunny Wailer have ever claimed that this song was recorded or written in 1976.

2366:

not align with the official PRS records, which show a registration date of December 1983 (which is the most solid source to argue this). The single also lists the current address of Sonic Sounds, which was located elsewhere prior to 1983-84, as can be verified by examining Sonic Sounds labels available on Discogs.

1522:

that Wailer was inspired by Eddy Grant's 1982 song "Electric Avenue" when writing "Electric Boogie". Therefore, it is clear and confirmed by official records and by the statements of those directly involved that the song was written and recorded for the first time in late 1982 and was officially released in 1983.

1622:

You continue to assert that BW's 1980 copyright is a "mistake", despite being informed that reliable sources are needed to contradict the label printing. You continue to ignore the RS that state that a version existed in 1976. I'm putting the following in bold so that watchers can comment further, if necessary:

390:

such a demo existed. In fact, in another document from the US Copyright Office (Correspondence ID: 1-3FCP8DF), the office noted that the only evidence Silver presented was a pamphlet with no publication date. All of Ric L. Silver's requests to register the dance routine were consistently rejected by that office.

2477:

Let me repeat myself: Your stance is that you have not heard the physical 45 with the copyright of 1980 on the label? Only a digital sample of a track from a commercial vendor? Until you can find a legal document or reliable source where BW explicitly rebukes Ric, or the existence of a 1976 promo, or

2293:

Now you are the one conducting original research. Although there are sources that mention a 1976 version, this narrative seems to have originated in 2007 from Ric Silver's claims, without physical or testimonial evidence to support it. On the other hand, official records and the testimonies of Marcia

2148:

Given that there are no earlier records or documented mentions of a version prior to 1982, any claims that the song or a demo existed before that date seem to be based more on rumors or later attempts to link the song to other projects. Therefore, to maintain accuracy and reliability, it's crucial to

1766:

Completely understand, and I stand by my comments. Please see the above suggestion in bold that encompasses all the years that are cited in RS--although HW's argument continues to be that because the MG version came out in 1983, and was completed by BW in 1982, no other versions could possibly exist,

1659:

My approach prioritizes primary sources and direct evidence over secondary accounts, which can sometimes become less accurate as they are transmitted through various channels. This analysis contrasts with the documented evidence placing the creation of the song in 1982, inspired by "Electric Avenue."

1182:

Although some sources have recently emerged erroneously claiming a 1976 recording, this is incorrect. The most reliable and verified sources confirm the 1982-1983 date. It is crucial to rely on credible and documented sources when discussing historical recordings. If there were any evidence of such a

862:

On the other hand, I find it illogical to accept as fact that the song "Electric Boogie" was released in 1976 when there is clearly no evidence of its existence at that time. Various sources, like the publisher Faber & Faber, have repeatedly perpetuated this erroneous confusion. It doesn't take a

during is legal wrangles (I can no longer find it online; now his chaotic texts only mention the venue where he introduced the dance) that he created the dance to the promo tape. But it is thoroughly surprising that Bunny Wailer himself never wrote about it, given the immense popularity. While Wailer

Next day Blackwell released the new version by Marcia Griffiths with no Bunny Wailer involve in the production, and slowly pulled off the original version that was produced by Bunny Wailers off the chart and inserted the Marcia Griffiths new version in its place and that's the version that is popular

521:

So here we go now with the original version of 'Electric Boogie,' the very first version. I must share this with you: when I went to record this song, there was only the keyboard player in the studio and Bunny Wailer. Marcia Griffiths was there, but I think she left before I actually put the bassline

499:

Finally, both Griffiths and Wailer have stated in various media outlets and interviews that the song was inspired by "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant, which appeared on the album *Killer on the Rampage* in 1982. The Faber & Faber book also cites Eddy Grant as a key inspiration for the song, but it

1629:

HW, I think you need to reflect on why you're here: to promote your version of the past or to help build an encyclopedia. If you continue to edit war, ignore reliable sources (you dismiss all eight or nine as "lacking credibility"), theorize, or refuse to engage in compromise or follow policies, you

2. Registration Records: The song "Electric Boogie" was officially registered with the U.S. Copyright Office on December 12, 1983, including the creation date listed as c1983. The PRS (Performing Right Society) record indicates that the song was registered for the first time on December 23, 1983. If

1521:

The absence of evidence supporting radically different previous versions before 1982, combined with the error in the 1980 copyright date on the single’s label, reinforces that all known and documented versions of "Electric Boogie" originated in late 1982. Both Bunny Wailer and Marcia Griffiths agree

1417:

Another fact that further supports my theory that the 1980 date on the "Electric Boogie" single with series SOL-0014 is a mislabeling and not a copyright registration is that PRS (Performing Right Society), based in the UK, indicates that the song was first registered in its archives on December 23,

1178:

It is enough, then, to conduct a brief historical, discographical, bibliographical, or similar review to realize that there is no 1976 recording by Bunny Wailer called 'Electric Boogie.' Simply put, that recording does not exist. All tangible evidence points to the fact that the song was written and

When the Bunny Wailer/Marcia Griffiths version hit the Billboard charts in 1989 at 51 with a bullet Marcia who was one of the acts billed on the Annual Reggae Sunsplash US tour was forced to include it in her performance and a group of us including Marcia and myself learnt the dance and performed it

389:

In this same document, the US Copyright Office informed Silver that the song was created in 1983 according to their records, not in 1976. However, the office accepted Silver's claim because it did not affect the application he was making. Nonetheless, Silver never provided any proof or evidence that

385:

Let's now talk about Ric L. Silver. All this confusion regarding the existence of a supposed 1976 demo arises from Ric L. Silver's legal battles in his attempt to register a dance routine called The Electric Slide under his name, which drew media attention in 2007. Silver submitted a document to the

258:

All, let's stop warring and figure out a solution to this. The majority of reliable sources state that Wailer wrote the song in 1976--whether that means the lyrics, arrangement, instrumentation, etc. It's not like WP to ignore that number of RS. Both things can be true; Wailer had a version in 1976,

2687:

4. BUNNY WAILER'S MUSICAL STYLE IN 1976: In 1976, Bunny Wailer was deeply immersed in his Rastafari faith and roots reggae, and his transition to styles like pop funk occurred in the early 80s, as reflected in his album "Hook Line & Sinker". Therefore, it is unlikely, if not impossible, that he

2665:

8. STATEMENTS BY GRIFFITHS, WAILER, BROWNE AND FORBES: Glen Browne, who composed the bassline, asserts that the song was created in 1982 and that no previous version exists. Griffiths maintains the same version, and Wailer, who wrote it inspired by a 1982 song ("Electric Avenue"), never mentioned a

2365:

Regarding the single with the catalog number SOL-0014, I have noted that it features digital technology and instruments that did not exist in 1980 (the first song recorded with digital technology in Jamaica was Wayne Smith's 1985 "Sleng Teng"). Additionally, the copyright registration (C) 1980 does

2268:

HW, you may want to vote--so far, two editors have acknowledged the many reliable sources that exist to support a 1976 version. As Altenmann noted, so much of this unknowable, as is what the 1976 promo sounded like--Ric's not changing his story, BW's dead, and Marcia, as your previous posts stated,

1779:

In a few days I will add some version of the following: "Many reliable sources state that Bunny Wailer wrote a version of 'Electric Boogie' in 1976 (or 1978). A 45 record label indicates that Wailer copyrighted it in 1980. Wailer and Marcia Griffiths remember that Wailer used a funk box to complete

1624:

1621:

HumbleWise, you continue to use huge chunks of prose to promote the same original research, over and over. The MG version was indeed copyrighted in the US in 1983--this has nothing to do with a 1976 Jamaican promo or demo. And again, the document doesn't state that MG participated in the 1976 demo.

1601: 1579:

4. Regarding Contradictory Claims: Knowledge (XXG)'s policy allows for listing contradictory claims, but these must be supported by reliable sources. The claim of a 1976 demo lacks credible evidence. Additionally, the 1980 single mentioned (SOL-0014), which features modern instruments and recording

996:

The original release was in 1982, not 1980, and here’s the evidence to support this: Bunny Wailer was still distributing his own Solomonic label from his base on Retirement Rd, beside Neville Lee’s Sonic Sounds, in 1983. Take note that the label on the 45 indicates "Sonic Sounds, 25 Retirement Rd."

883:

While Faber & Faber is indeed a reputable publisher, it’s important to critically evaluate the accuracy of the information they provide. In this case, the evidence suggests that the song "Electric Boogie" was not written or released in 1976. According to Roger Steffens' latest book, "Bob Marley

2545:

Indeed, I mistakenly referred to the single SOL-0014, which was mislabeled with an incorrect date of 1980, thinking that the date was correct. After reviewing the official PRS data and speaking with collectors, I clarified the error and confirmed by checking my personal collection that, due to the

2339:

HW, you keep using the mere existence of the MG version to prove that it's the only one... There's a reasonable solution to this, besides the obvious and encyclopedic one of using RS to cite all the conflicting arguments: Bunny was still alive when Ric filed his lawsuit. Find something, in a legal

1816:

As always, I respect your opinion; however, I do not share your view. Even I have cited the same sources as you, such as the Jamaica Gleaner and other similar ones like the New York Daily News. These sources, contrary to the claim that the song was released in 1976, indicate that 'Electric Boogie'

1575:

3. Inspiration and Creation Timeline: Bunny Wailer and Marcia Griffiths have consistently stated that the song was created in 1982, inspired by "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant. If "Electric Boogie" was indeed created inspired by "Electric Avenue," it is illogical to suggest that there were earlier

1121:

When you've got contradicting reliable sources, rather than trying to state one as absolute fact, it's best to just cover what each sources states and leave it at that. Provide both sides with proper context. On Knowledge (XXG), we're not necessarily trying to dictate an absolute truth, but rather

413:

Often, available sources can contain errors or incorrect information. In the case of the song in question, I have found that several sources provide conflicting details about its creation date. Precisely for this reason, I have turned to direct statements from the song's authors to obtain accurate

2144:

Thank you for your perspective. However, it's essential to consider the official records. For example, the records from the Performing Right Society (PRS) do not show any mention of a version of "Electric Boogie" registered before 1983, which contradicts the 45 rpm record label that indicates (C)

1567:

1. Interpretation of the Review Board's Statement: While the Review Board states that it will assume the applicant's facts are correct, this does not mean those facts are verified truth. It simply means they are accepted at face value for the purpose of the application. The claim that a 1976 demo

1517:

Thank you for your comment. Based on the evidence reviewed, there is no version of "Electric Boogie" from 1976 or earlier than 1982. Official PRS records indicate that the song was registered in December 1983, and the recording used on the single SOL-0014 is identical to that on the album Just Be

1129:

There's a lot of nuance here, so I won't try to tell anyone exactly what to write, or I'll likely just get bogged down in objections that kind of miss the point. But I'll give an example. Let's say there's a dispute on whether a ball is red or orange. Rather than arguing over which statement "The

1011:

In fact, by doing a brief search with the serial number SOL-0014, it is clear that this is a recording from the late 80s, and the year 1980 is likely an erroneous backdate. The recording techniques used are clearly modern. Another point of interest is that Bunny Wailer registered the song in 1983

715:

According to Roger Steffens' latest book, "Bob Marley and the Wailers: The Definitive Discography" (2021), whose music collection was sold for 2.5 million dollars in June 2024, there is no evidence to support that the song "Electric Boogie" was written or released in 1976. Steffens, known for his

By May 1983, Island Records had the song. The magazine *Black Music* reported: "MARCIA GRIFFITHS: Electric Boogie / Electric Boogie Dub (Island 12IS11). Produced by High Priest Bunny Wailer, this isn't reggae but funk experimentation. And brilliant with it. Mashing it up in Jamaica and deservedly

The source for "Electric Boogie" being popular at special occasions does not appear to indicate as such in the source provided. It contains a copyright date of 1990 in the video's description, but nothing about special occasions. I believe a better source should be added, but cannot find a source

2679:

2. RICHARD "RIC" L. SILVER'S CLAIM: In 2007, Richard "Ric" L. Silver attracted media attention by attempting to remove any video from the internet that incorrectly performed the "Electric Slide" choreography, claiming ownership of the rights. He claimed to have created the "Electric Slide" dance

2661:

7. REISSUE: Chris Blackwell of Island Records became interested in the song and released a reissued and remixed version under the Mango sublabel and under Island. Bunny Wailer registered the song with the US Copyright Office on December 12, 1983, indicating that the year of creation was 1983. On

2502:

However, Bunny Wailer did record a song called "Electro Rap" between 1982 and 1983. It falls within the same production line as the original "Electric Boogie," with Marcia Griffiths' vocals on the chorus. For that recording, Bunny used the Jamaican dub technique (using an instrumental track from

1655:

Regarding the claim of a 1976 demo, it has not been supported by any independent verification and lacks the backing of the main figures involved in the creation of the song. The only person who has claimed the existence of a 1976 demo is Ric L. Silver, but this claim lacks corroborated evidence.

1539:

Sorry, but this is a misreading of the law document: The Review Board "will assume that the facts as stated by the applicant are correct." The RB is noting that a 1976 demo of the song "performed" by MG "existed in 1976", not that MG performed on the 1976 demo. And, again, you have yet to cite a

1498:

No one doubts that different instrumentation would have been used on a 1976 (or 1978) promo or demo version, a 1980 copyrighted version, and a 1982 dance version. Unless a reliable source states that the 1976 (or 1978) version is so radically dissimilar from the 1980 version, which in turn is so

For example, in this interview (one of many), Marcia Griffiths clarifies again that there is no song prior to hers (1982-1983) and that, according to Bunny Wailer, it was inspired by Electric Avenue (from the 1982 album Killer on the Rampage). As I have repeated, it is the authors and performers

In fact, the US Copyright Office rejected Ric Silver's requests to register the line dance "Electric Slide" multiple times. The only thing he managed to register was a videocassette titled "The Electric," published on March 26, 2004, and registered on June 11, 2004, under the registration number

Marcia Griffiths argues in multiple interviews that can even be found on YouTube that the song "Electric Boogie" was written and recorded for the first time at the end of 1982, exclusively for her, featuring Bunny Wailer, who raps in several parts of the song, after she purchased a rhythm box in

I understand your point; however, the claims that there is no earlier version are based on statements from Marcia Griffiths and bassist Glen Browne. Additionally, producer Copeland Forbes has also confirmed this, although I don't have the book on hand where he mentions it. These are the sources

Additionally, as previously mentioned, The Gazette newspaper from April 17, 1982, reports that Marcia Griffiths was indeed in Toronto that year. This report aligns with her account that she acquired a keyboard (a rhythm box) in Toronto with which 'Electric Boogie' was created, and with Browne's

As part of my efforts to clarify this confusion, I will now cite Jamaican bassist Glen Browne, whom Marcia Griffiths mentions in multiple interviews as the creator of the bass line for "Electric Boogie." According to Browne, the song was created exclusively for Marcia Griffiths in 1982 by Bunny

The most important point to highlight is that Ric L. Silver is not referring to a song by Bunny Wailer but rather to the same song by Marcia Griffiths, incorrectly stating it is from 1976. Clarifying this point and considering official records and statements from both Marcia Griffiths and Bunny

HumbleWise, you'll need to start actually citing sources--every time you mention that something is a "mistake" or "erroneous", you just continue to weaken your case. BW copyrighted a version of his song in 1980. You'll need evidence that this isn't accurate, not theories, opinion, and original

813:

Regarding this particular point that claims Ric Silver received a demo of "Electric Boogie" in 1976 to create the "Electric Slide" line dance, there is no evidence to support it. Even the U.S. Copyright Office refuted Ric Silver's assertion, stating that there was no evidence of his work being

Although both The Gleaner and The Observer, two established newspapers in Jamaica, have replicated both versions (Ric Silver's and those by Marcia and Bunny), the most important and central point is that there is no evidence of a recording or demo prior to 1982, which strongly supports Marcia

Thank you for your comment. I understand the importance of presenting all sides when there are contradicting reliable sources. However, in cases where the original authors have clarified the facts and debunked any misinformation, I believe it's crucial to prioritize that clarification in the

I understand your points and appreciate your analysis. However, I have provided direct interviews with Bunny Wailer and Marcia Griffiths where they clarify that there is no version of the song from 1976, and both state that the song was inspired by Eddy Grant's *Electric Avenue* from 1982.

1304:

I also considered the theory that Bunny Wailer might have written the song inspired by the Electric Boogie movement of the early 1980s in New York. However, after hearing both Wailer and Griffiths state that the song was inspired by Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue," I set that theory aside.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree with your assessment. My contributions are based on verifiable sources, including primary sources such as interviews with the original artists involved in the creation of "Electric Boogie" and official records from the U.S. Copyright Office and PRS.

The Dub Vendor archives, a renowned record store specializing in reggae located at 264 Lavender Hill, Clapham Junction, London SW11, indicate that the pre-release of the 45 RPM single "Electric Boogie" by Marcia Griffiths under Bunny Wailer’s label, Solomonic, took place on January 15,

Of course, it was removed. It seems that Ric was thoroughly confused. What is more, some people asserted that Ric did not invent this dance in 1976, basing on his confused claims. But he managed to provide some typewritten+handwritten piece of paper with a draft of what he did in the

6. CHART SUCCESS: On December 25, 1982, Marcia performed the song live for the first time at the Youth Consciousness Reggae Festival organized by Wailer. In the early months of 1983, the song reached the top charts in Jamaica. In the UK, the pre-release is dated January 15, 1983.

The song may have been re-released in 1989 and charted then, but it was originally released on vinyl in 1983 in both 7" and 12" single versions. As it became well-known and popular in clubs and on radio on its original release, that release date should be given precedence.

I wanted to say it earlier but I forgot: we have no idea what the versions in 1976 and 1980s were: at the very extreme, maybe the only common thing was just the title. And the sources found so far do not make us wiser to write something in the article.

We were shocked and Marcia was very upset that Bunny would do something like that without even informing her as it was her voice on the original version in 1983 which propelled the song to enter the Billboard R&B top singles chart at 51 with a

It is crucial to highlight that Bunny Wailer stated during his lifetime that he was inspired by "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant, released in 1982, to write "Electric Boogie". This reinforces that the song could not have been created in

Just to clarify: You've listened to the 1980 Jamaican 45, or, in your wording, the 45 with the mislabeled 1980 copyright? As in the physical copy, not something purported to be a digitized version or BW's separate late-1980s version?

I suggest that, in addition to considering bibliographic sources, which I have extensively used, it is essential to apply an interpretative approach supported by credible sources for a complete and accurate understanding of the topic.

Yes, I have a physical copy of that single with catalog number SOL-0014 and the incorrect 1980 date in my personal collection, and it is exactly the same as the one I have shown you. I hope you have listened to both side A and side

Well, damn. The only reason I disbelieved 1976 was the assertion that the song was inspired by Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue" which appeared in 1982. The label of that 1980 45 rpm single is solid evidence otherwise.

With all due respect, I do not agree with the assertion that I am acting in bad faith by highlighting these points. My intention is to ensure that all arguments are thoroughly examined and accurately represented.

Now about the song Electric Boogie, Bunny struck a deal with Chris Blackwell at Island Records to distribute the song as Blackwell loved the song and thought it was a good lead off song for an album.

576:

Bunny took the funds NEVER gave Marcia any financial advance and never produced the album. I personally asked him why he didn't produce the album the fact that Blackwell gave him the funds to do it.

579:

He told me that Blackwell owed him money from the Wailers Catch A Fire & Burning albums, so he held on to the funds as part payment in lieu of the funds he got for the Electric Boogie project.

Blackwell gave Bunny funds to produce an album as the Electric Boogie song would be regarded as the lead off single for the prospective album by Marcia produced by Solomonic Productions Ltd.

It doesn't matter whether it exists or not, it matters that it's being prominently discussed by reliable sources. You're not really viewing this from the Knowledge (XXG) viewpoint here.

I disagree. When both sides are prominently mentioned by sources, it's a disservice to the reader to simply choose one and not even mention the other. It's not telling the whole story.

2362:

I appreciate your input, but I'd like to clarify that I'm not relying solely on Marcia Griffiths' version. I am critically examining all available versions and verifying their origins.

1583:

Conclusion: Given these considerations, the preponderant evidence supports the creation of "Electric Boogie" in 1982, with no substantial proof of a 1976 demo or a recording from 1980.

2654:

5. RELEASE: In 1982, the song was released on a record without a serial number or matrix under Wailer's label, Solomonic, which could mistakenly lead people to believe it was a demo.

If your intention is "to ensure that all arguments are thoroughly examined and accurately represented", then you must also be voting "C"... you should make your official vote above...

To our surprise when the tour finished and Marcia and myself went to Jamaica we learnt that Bunny re-recorded a new version all by himself and even did a video for that new version.
