Legendary Ghanaian highlife musician Obouba J. A Adofo has revealed that doctors have advised him against singing.

The veteran singer made the disclosure while speaking with veteran Ghanaian actor Fred Amugi during the 'Flora 50 Act of Care' Campaign after being asked to identify the biggest hit of his career.

Responding to the question, J. A Adofo said “Ankwadobi” remains his most successful song and treated the audience to a few lines from the classic hit.

However, he abruptly ended the performance, explaining that he could no longer continue because of medical advice.

“Doctor said I shouldn’t sing anymore, so I think this should be enough,” he said.

Before stopping, the highlife legend described Ankwadobi, which he translates as the stranger who walks alone, as the biggest hit of his career, despite saying many of his songs enjoyed success over the years.
