file under so bad it’s good
August 1, 2010
Came across this while digging the other day and I have taken a bit of a shine to it. Sly and Robbie on the riddim. Vocal and Dub version back to back for extended listening pleasure. Should be worse than it is, but when the sun is at the right angle it sounds sweet. End [...]

Lamont Dozier is one of those cats that had a hand in many of the great songs that you will know from the 60s and 70s. Hard working like James Brown, with studio sense like Isaac Hayes and as funky as Prince when he wanted to be. Lamont could also turn out a soul lyric [...]
