Sweet Mother by Prince Nico Mbarga has been voted Africa's favourite song by BBC readers and listeners.
Chosen from a shortlist of 10, the 1976 hit celebrating motherhood won with more than 27% of the vote.
The wedding song Vuli Nadlela by the wild child of South African music, Brenda Fassie, who died earlier this year, came in second.
"We weren't surprised by the result. It's a timeless classic," said Joseph Warungu, who organised the poll.
"It's not just about the lyrics. There's something about the singing guitar that gets you," he said.
