Biography:
John Kongos, (b.23 July 1946, Johannesburg, South Africa), is a singer/songwriter.
After relocating to Britain to follow a musical career, his first album, "Confusions About a Goldfish" (1970), was unsuccessful. The next year he had two hit singles – "He's Gonna Step On You Again" (UK #4; U.S. #70) and "Tokoloshe Man" (UK #4). His second album "Kongos" made the Top 40 of the UK Albums Chart, but subsequent singles, "Great White Lady" (1972), "Ride the Lightning" (1973) and "Higher than God's Hat" (1975), failed to chart.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
No 4 in the UK charts in 1971. There's quite a bit of percussion work in the intro and bridge etc
so it would be best to check out the video on youtube etc to hear everything that's going on.
Also there are more 'he's gonna step on you again's in the bridge.I've included 4 in 'my'
bridge as it just repeats to any number you want to play.
