ReplyDeleteJohn Theodore Kongos (born 6 August 1945) is a South African singer and songwriter of Greek ancestry, best known for his 1971 Top 10 hit single "He's Gonna Step on You Again", on which Happy Mondays based their hit "Step On".
His other big hit was "Tokoloshe Man", which was featured on the TV show Life on Mars and the CD soundtrack.
His second album, Kongos, made the top 30 of the UK Albums Chart; but his subsequent singles, "Great White Lady" (30th June 1972), "Higher than God's Hat" (29th June 1973)" and Ride the Lightning" (11th.April 1975) did not chart.
His 1966–1969 work (including his recordings with Floribunda Rose and Scrugg, and his solo album Confusions About a Goldfish) was released on a compilation album, Lavender Popcorn (2001).
The album Kongos (Elektra, 1972), plus his remaining singles first issued on Fly, appeared on the CD Tokoloshe Man Plus, released by See For Miles Records in 1988.
Kongos is married to Shelley and has four sons; Johnny, Jesse, Dylan, and Daniel, who are members of the rock group Kongos.
