With Valentines day fast approaching I think its about that time for a Lovers Rock mix so grab your partner and lets get to it!
First up we have some soulful melodies from Carol Thompson, Arema, Tinga Stewart and Ruddy Thomas. Ruddy had several hits during his career which ended with his passing in 2006 one of which was a UK number one hit cover version of the classic Manhattans track just one moment away.
Also featured on this mix are multi-talented Producers, writers and singers Carlton Livingstone and Sugar Minott, who have had a string of hits during the 70's and 80's both in Jamaica and abroad.
Louisa "Markswoman" Marks was one of the pioneers of the Lovers Rock scene scouted as a youngster by the legendary sound system owner Sir Coxsone who at the time was hosting a popular weekly talent contest at the Four Aces nightclub in Dalston, East London. Louisa who was singing with Dennis Bovell's Sufferer sound system accepted Llyoddie Coxsone's invitation and went on to win ten weeks in a row which then kick started the Lovers Rock genre and opened up the doors for artists like Carol Thompson and Janet Kay.
So kick back with the one you love and take a trip down memory lane with the coolest Lovers Rock selection from yours truly and I'll be back real soon.
