John Wayne(2)

:(This page is about the reggae artist. For the Hollywood actor of the same name, see John Wayne.)
John Wayne (c.1963 - 20 January 2014), real name Norval Headley, was a Jamaican reggae / dancehall singer, composer and producer from Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica. He released one album, Boogie Down, on the Vista Sounds label in 1983 and many singles, as dancehall artists tend to do.

Peel played some tracks from the singer in 1983 and on his 24 April 1983 (BFBS) show suggested that he could have played another John Wayne, the famous Hollywood actor, who released albums of American spoken words with orchestral music, followed after the reggae artist song of 'Go John Wayne Go', which he played on the show.
In 1985 Peel played a track from a 1973 album by Hollywood actor John Wayne, who on the LP was speaking with orchestral music in the background, on his 21 August 1985 show, in between playing the reggae singer of the same name and a cowpunk alternative country band named Jon Wayne, whose spelling was different from the others.
