virtuous woman live

http://ping.fm/lprne

Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Lyrics to Virtuous Woman: 
shooba-shoob-i, shooba-shooba-day (x4)

 Chorus 
Now a real man cyann live without a woman 
Like night to day is a woman to her man 
She's essential to his purpoe and his mission 
A good woman is a glory to her man 
She never take the power, 
he'll just make him a better man 
Every great man has a virtuous woman. 
 Verse 1 
Woman you say you love me and never leave me lonely 
You'll always be there for me, so need not worry 
Woman to keep I strong, it is part of Jah plan
 I'll leave my mom and dad, find a woman and be one 
With a woman I make my bond, perfect combination 
I am a black man so I love my black woman
Woman give me the sweet sweet love to hold anytime of day
 Lots of hugs and kisses, I & I ah burn out the gay
 Chorus 
 Woman I love and honor, the (?) of the light carrier
 The empress omega, the mother of Rastafari's culture 
 Revises to the King and his empress Menin(?) 
 Who showed us the right and the true way of living 
Woman could never cause sin, so listen as I sing Mother woman of the earth,
 them ah joy bell ring ring ring
 Equality inna Zion, by nature's law that's where he should go
 For every man I know there is a woman, 
you meet the (?) that is all I know. 
 Shooba-shoob-I, shooba-shooba-day...

All hail the Culture King

STORY OF A SONG "VIRTUOUS WOMAN"

Virtuous Woman made an indelible Mark on the World and signifies the rise of a MAN on a mission to spread love and togetherness. Warrior King is continuing the footsteps of those who have gone before.
Warrior King records hit song twice

Published: Sunday Gleaner | January 23, 2011 0 Comments

Mel Cooke, Gleaner Writer
Warrior King says that he was nervous when he went into the small studio at Anchor, Windsor Avenue, St Andrew, to record Virtuous Woman. He was the youngster of the crop of artistes doing songs on the rhythm, the others including Luciano, LUST, Junior Kelly and George Nooks.
However, he hit the song in one take and the response of the persons who were at the session was very encouraging.
So was the feedback from persons who heard Virtuous Woman on a high-bias cassette ("them time we not even have CD") Warrior King carried home. But in the midst of the joy, there was a call from producer Michael 'Mikey Chang' Johnson to record Virtuous Woman again.
Confident
"To me I did it good. A pure excitement. But the producer and engineer Nigel thought I could do it better. Me did feel a way, but the producer must know and if me do it already, me can do it again or even better," Warrior King said.
Plus, he said, "me get confident now."
So the following day Warrior King went back to the studio and did Virtuous Woman again, hitting it in one take. However, before starting to record, he read Psalm 57 outside the studio door. The Psalm goes in part:

"I will sing and make music
Awake, my soul."
Virtuous Woman was released about a year and a half after it was recorded and Warrior King says he first heard it played on radio by Elise Kelly on March 6, 2001, at 1:25 p.m. He said when he heard it "cold bump full me body, me flip. Me run and flip. Me never know me could flip."

VIRTUOUS WOMAN VIDEO

Kelly giving Virtuous Woman exposure was fitting, as Warrior King had listened to her reading from 'Acts of Faith' on IRIE FM and had been struck by the concept that a person will meet their partner at the right time.
On the charts
He says Virtuous Woman was top of the charts in Jamaica for 13 weeks. He first performed it on a show at the Mas Camp Village, New Kingston, staged by George Nooks, this before the song was really popular.
However, he remembers a performance at Fayor's Entertainment Centre, Mandeville, where "when me done is like a Michael Jackson thing. Woman a run me down, them a tear down the car an' a lick ova fence".
The song led to Warrior King's first overseas performance trip, when he did two and a half weeks in the United States and Canada with Luciano, Copeland Forbes marshalling the tour party. His debut album, titled Virtuous Woman, was released in October 2002.

"To me that song is a divine inspiration. It is bigger than me. Is like the Most High use me," Warrior King said. "That was the song that made Warrior King known to the world."
