Smudger Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There are loads of great reggae versions of soul classics the original soul version does lend it self towards a reggae theme anyway 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Here's one thats always been a fave of mine ........... bought as a new release a FEW years back ...... We're just like Williams & Watson .... two (bros) for the price of one 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Can't say that this is my fave version of "Dark End of the Street" ......... the backing is just TOO amateurish .... There has to be a better reggae version ...... no doubt Pete S will point me in the right direction. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Here's a better effort from Pat Kelly .... a Curtis Mayfield (Impressions) song ..... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I can't, I'm too stunned at you saying that the backing track is amateurish LOL this backing track has been used on 7 or 8 classics including the oe below, which isn't a soul record but sounds like it should be - totally fantastic track by the same artist 1 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

This UK version is way better than the Jamaican mix, the Jamaican one doesn't have the strings which make the UK one so beautiful. Next one I get I'll give you it. In fact I might have one on my jukebox (though I think it's Jamaican - doh!) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tiggerwoods Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Glad somebody posted this up ... I bought a load of LP's recently and in the batch was a reggae Lp on Dragon label with no proper cover. One track was a really decent version of walking up a one way street but no artist by the title! Would like to know who the artist is and was it released as a single?? Cue Pete Smith or some other knowleable person (Johnny Boy South??) Phil Rains Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
