September 2007 - Rupie Edwards is very much
a singer as well as a producer. Forty
minutes of crucial historical Reggae!
When Reggae
was a few ears old, it was time for another
decade. The 70's were calling, and so were a
lot of new producers and singers. Rupie
Edwards was one of them, and until 1974 he
scored a number of hits both as a vocalist
and producer.
1974 was
his big year, as he almost lived in the UK
charts during the summer with a tune called
"Ire Feeling". In that year, he
also moved to London to work further on his
musical developments.
This
selection doesn't come with that UK hit.
Instead, we'll explore the versatility of
Rupie's stylee as a producer and singer as
we are being treated to vocals and dubs by a
wide variety of different artists.
