About this item

Johhny Clarke ruled the dancehall in the mid 70s, coming up with a number of quality tunes using the fresh 'flyers' rhythm that gave him an edge with the sound systems. But his voice was always more important than any passing riddim fad, and his versatility to sing a wide range of vocal styles, has seen him cut through the decades as one of reggae's best voices. It's from his 1970s work with Bunny Lee that Kingston Sounds bring this collection together from, mixing up rockers, dread and lovers cuts.
