Re: Reggae Covers Of Famous Songs

Inner Circle's cover of the Stylistics' "You Make Me Feel Brand New." (who is the singer there? a young J.Miller?)

Prince Allah's cover of "Oh Carol" (enjoyable)

Dennis Brown's cover of "Black Magic Woman"

Peter Tosh's cover of "Here Comes the Sun" (Beatles) COOL!

Steel Pulse's cover of "Can't Stand Losing U" (The Police)
It surpasses the original, fi real ! (digital but great!)

I will come back with more thoughts...

Bless

Do you know The Dynamics (a french reggae group in Lyon)? I discovered them on a compilation called "Best Seven Selection Vol 3"

These tracks from their album "Version Excursions" are excellent:
