Jackie Mittoo - Summer Breeze

[dylan]

Is that Jackie himself singing?

[selecta bing]

Yes, One of the rare occasions that he sang (like Pablo)

[Jackie P]

Pablo's vocal on 'Earth Rightful Ruler' always sounds refreshing in it's own unique way.

Jackie Mittoo's 'Reggae Magic' (vocal) well worth a mention too, specially the amazing dubbed out sound found on the B side of the Studio One 7".

"Got My Bugaloo"

Incidentally, Summer Breeze was an original (afaik) by the Isley Brothers.

Actually it's a Seals & Crofts original....one of those songs that was *everywhere* when it came out in 1973. But I would like to hear The Isley's version, everything they touch pretty much becomes "their own".

You could knock on 5 random doors in this city and get that 45.

there are vocals from Coxsone Dodd on an Early single from Delroy Wilson called 'King Pharaoh'

I love Summer Breeze by Jackie.
Yet another instance of a reggae artist personalizing and vastly improving on a not so great original - in my opinion...
Bugaloo is great too.
Anyone know of more Jackie vocals?

Jackie Mittoo was just amazing and I wish he did more singing.
He really had it all. Maybe he wasn't comfortable with his voice.
Jimi Hendrix apparently didn't think much of his own voice - luckily he was pushed into singing and playing his heart out.
