Recommend me some minor key rocksteady

Post by Rocky VIII »

I don't know much about rocksteady, but here and there i really like a tune. The minor key, heavy stuff, not the majoy key stuff usually.

So far i like
"Swing Easy" Soul Vendors
"Thinking" Ken Boothe
"No No No" Dawn Penn
"Big Mistake" the Bassies

If you are more familiar with the music, please direct me to some other heavy rocksteady tunes! Thanks!

"Tonight" - Keith and Tex plus "Do I Worry" - Derrick Harriott (switches from minor to major I think). Time to give these a listen along with any Lynn Tait ones I can find over the weekend...
