2 hours ago2 hr In the mid 60's, I liked / bought ska & Bluebeat 45's. When that genre of music stopped being played in mod / soul clubs, I stopped buying most reggae. HOWEVER, I was always a sucker for reggae versions of soul songs. Bought quite a few, including reggae versions of "Get Ready", "La La Means I Love You", etc.Some reggae artists didn't have the greatest degree of imagination. Irvin Brown cut lots of soul songs, including a few AL GREEN songs. He took the stage / recording name of AL BROWN & cut songs such as "Love And Happiness" and "Here I Am Baby". Think there was a similar compilation CD to this released in the past (got a copy here somewhere).
