HARD LIFE * MARLENE WEBBER & THE AGGROVATORS * SMASH 2322 * UK
On the opening of this Jackpot, Bunnie Lee JA release, Marlene Webber, in DJ style, delivers the haunting plea, "Oh Mama, Oh Papa, why life is so hard?", and sets the rhythm for a top suffera's cut. The same plaintive effect was reproduced shortly after with the androgynous sounding Marlene Webber on Cumbaya (see below) this time with a more specific plea about Cumbaya. Marlene Webber, had a few solo recordings released by Coxsone Dodd and one, Come On with her sister Joyce (issued in 1969 on Supreme) as the Webber Sisters.
