Stunning soul from Ken Boothe – one
of the singers who really helped bring a sense
of soul to Jamaican music with classic material like this! Ken's got a unique voice that's not the usual style
of reggae vocalists – a really distinct sense
of phrasing that's both easygoing and deep at the same time – yet never in a way that's like American deep soul either. The approach is one that helped Boothe ride strongly from the rocksteady years into the soulful side
of 70s reggae, and beyond into the roots generation too – sometimes transforming American soul tunes, but often delivering some mighty righteous originals that were some
of his best material. This big set covers all the bases – and the 2LP version features 28 tracks in all, with titles that include "Lady With The Star
light", "Silver Words", "Everything I Own", "Is It Because I'm Black", "Freedom Street", "Say You", "Who Gets Your Love", "Your Feeling & Mine", "I'm Not For Sale", "Rasta Never Fails", "Satta Massagana", "Love Don't Love No
body", "Freedom Day", "Let Go", and "That's The Way Nature Planned It".
