Andy,
It would help a lot if you could name cover-versions of the songs you mentioned.
For the original versions we could take a look at Albert's own site:

Coverversions: Bucks Fizz (1986), Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers (1986), Aswad (1988), Samuel E. Wright (2000) in the Disney-film "Little Mermaid II".
Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers's version was also in the films: "Tequila Sunrise" (1988) and "Men at Work" (1990)

I have now added Albert's version of Good Morning Freedom on his new live album.
He had never previously recorded this song.
