Strolling down memory lane with some cool lovers rock for our listeners this week. Kicking off with a Freddie McGregor classic courtesy of Norman Connors "you are my starship" and then signing off the mix with some sublime vocals from the queen of lovers rock herself - Janet Kay.
During the 70's and 80's lovers rock had taken hold of the UK blues party scene with artists such as Jean Adebambo, Ruddy Thomas, Carol Thompson and Trevor Walters to name a few. Lovers Rock had firmly made its mark and would often be played by popular sound systems of the time. Caron Wheeler of Soul II Soul fame started out as part of popular lover rock trio - Brown Sugar which gave us such favorites as "I'm in love with a dreadlocks" and "Hello Stranger"
