Another in the occasional series of Jamaican covers of well known Soul and R & B tunes. Lots on here I’ve not used before. I have to say though, while doing this, to my great surprise the track I enjoyed the most was one I bought as 13 year old schoolboy, and at the time it was on a par with Wet Dream as being the most notorious record to own — Prince Buster’s adaption of Rainy Night In Georgia, the legendary Big Five. Never quite understand why it was called Big Five though…anyway I hadn’t listened to it for years and it bought back a lot of memories, including that of my brother breaking my copy in half because I kicked him. Those were the days…
