My my...what a cover on this one.",
It's an interesting cover. There's the accordion sitting right there; Adedokun used the accordion quite extensively, following the lead of another popular Gospel singer, Sola Rotimi*. The picture was probably taken in some sparsely (as is usual) furnished office or sitting room; the colour of the paint gives that all away.
Adedokun's music was something revolutionary in directly the corruption that was eating away at the country, and for a gospel/Christian singer at that. Using the medium of gospel, He took on the military government (for corruption and other crimes), the Christian Association of Nigeria (for inaction against a corrupt government) and admonished several others.
His music was as meaningful as his voice was sonorous; his messages, still relevant even today, probably changed lives: if not the military government, his own constiuency, the Christian Association of Nigeria.
* Would be really happy to find anything from Sola Rotimi, on these pages...
wow... thanks for all the interesting input & information .. much appreciated
peace ;)
