Black Harmony. Don't Let it Go to your Head

I have a real soft spot for Lovers Rock & I love Philly soul so this cover of a Jean Carne classic by Black Harmony really is right in my sweet spot. A lovely lilting mid-tempo reggae rhythm, fabuolous harmonised vocals & (in the extended version) a great bit of dub mixing to round it all off, make this a classic bit of soul/reggae fusion. Just right for Sunday!

Happy Reggae Month and Blessed Earthstrong to the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Emmanuel Brown CD, who was born on February 1, 1957. We still miss you.

His flourishing career began at age 12 or 13 when he recorded his first hit “No Man Is an Island” for Jamaican record producer Clement Seymour “Coxsone” Dodd.

Right on time for Reggae Month, which is celebrated in Jamaica every February, is “New Reggae documentary premiering at Bronx Music Hall this weekend”, an article by @MiletteMillington.

“The film is about all of the people behind the scenes who created the phenomenon of reggae music, ... and I hope that hearing their stories inspires someone to pick up an instrument and create something the world has never heard before!”
