Verse 1
A tune from Ray, is a
song to play, It is a wonderful and exciting happening.
When you understand, the music
in the man Then you’ll appreciate why you get that feeling. As a young man, with his love for pan,
He really show us how to put it together, From such an early age, he occupied center stage,
Because his music had come of age
He even beat a steelband into a rage.
Chorus
When is
Panorama, in the Grand Savannah
You bound to have good music to play
Deceased Bradley say, for the big
steelband day, The only man he
respect is Ray
Verse 2

prowess. From Antilleans, to dem
four west band, They have all
benefited from this man’s largesse One a dem today, still turn round
and say, That they doh want him come
and control they business, To prove

Verse
3 For
those who just come, to play
steeldrum, Dey better try and learn
about the great pioneers. Men who
built the pan, those who had the
plan, To take the instrument into
this stratosphere. I will call no
name, but who is to blame. I ask a
young man who playing for a big
band, If he know the man who start,
this own tune in the Big Yard He say
that he never hear ’bout Holman, A
prophet get no respect in his land.
Chorus

You bound to have good music to play
Deceased Bradley say, for the big

respect is Ray
Bridge Ray

This is the man, genius composer
For the pan. Ray is the man, to
command yuh band This is the man,
genius composer For pan.
Ray

This is the man, genius composer
For the pan. Ray is the man, to
command yuh band This is the man,
genius composer For pan.
