DJ Grizz- Reggae Got Soul 3

We step into the Soulful Reggae garden this week and a selection of soul tunes done 'ina reggae style'.... just in time for carnival!

We begin with a Derrick Harriot cover of the massive Floaters No.1 tune, Inner Circle interpret the Stylistics hit, then Sandra Cross too covers the Stylistics (although better known by reggae fans by the Mighty Diamonds), Sugar Minnott had a hit with this Michael Jackson LP track (from 1972 LP 'Ben'), I tones do a great version of the hugely covered Walk On By, and we end on Freddie McGregors version of the LTD song (although maybe familier from George Benson to some).

Enjoy your long weekend if you are in the UK. Back soon!
