------------------------

Jonathan Michael Richman (born May 16, 1951) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist.
In 1970 he founded The Modern Lovers, an influential proto-punk band.
Since the mid-1970s, Richman has worked either solo or with low-key, generally acoustic backing.
He is known for his wide-eyed, unaffected and child-like outlook, and music that, while rooted in rock and roll, often draws on influences from around the world.

In the United Kingdom, Richman was recognised as a progenitor of the punk rock scene, and several of his singles became hits. "Roadrunner" reached Number 11 in the UK Singles Chart, and its follow-up, the instrumental "Egyptian Reggae", made Number 5 in late 1977.

"Egyptian Reggae" was a version of Jamaican musician Earl Zero's reggae song "None Shall Escape the Judgement"; Zero was credited as co-writer on Richman's later versions of the track.

Egyptian Reggae originally released as a single in 1977:

"Egyptian Reggae" / "Ice Cream Man" (Beserkley 6.12 217, 1977) and
"Egyptian Reggae" / "Rollercoaster By The Sea" (Beserkley BZZ 2, UK, 1977)
