This new album follows on from Soul Jazz Records' earlier highly successful 'Hustle: Disco Reggae' and features reggae covers of classic songs by Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire, Michael Jackson, The Isley Brothers, Candi Staton, Curtis Mayfield and more as performed by Derrick Harriott, Devon Russell, Hortense Ellis, Glen Adams, Dave Barker and others. The lineages of American soul and disco music on the one hand and Jamaican reggae on the other are so intertwined that its unsurprising that disco reggae - or reggae disco if you prefer - is such a winning and straightforward combination. American and Jamaican music has been influencing each other back and forth for many decades, and is one reason that the music of Diana Ross, Curtis Mayfield, the Isley Brothers and numerous other US soul artists is so widely appreciated in Jamaica. \/\/ The most-straightforward definition of `Disco Reggae' is to describe it as American disco and soul songs covered by reggae artists. But the relationship is binary - this is no mere subservient island appreciation of North American dominant culture but instead an example of the interweaving thread of Jamaican and American music that travels back and forth between the major cities of Kingston, London, Toronto, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. \/\/ Having said that all of the songs featured here are indeed cover versions of (or at least heavily based on) US soul and disco tunes. Curtis Mayfield, Diana Ross, Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire, Archie Bell, The Dramatics, Michael Jackson - the work of these artists resonated around the world and Jamaica was no exception. \/\/ Comes as a double CD edition with booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevon Russell - Move on Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrashers - Flight to Jamaica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValerie Harrison - Fool's Paradise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Campbell - for the Love of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRisco Connection - It's My House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDave Barker - Glow of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerrick Harriott - Caught You in a Lie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHortense Ellis - Young Hearts Run Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEd Watson and Brass Circle - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevon Russell - We the People Who Are Darker Than Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeventh Extension - Reasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerrick Harriott - Brown Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEd Watson and Brass Circle - Let's Groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePete Campbell ; the Sunshine Girls - Don't Let Love Get You Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWebby Jay - in the Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlen Adams Affair - Just a Groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5026328105161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soul Jazz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.18.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42112506953803,"sku":"203551","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/4135337-2914330.jpg?v=1770185725","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/soul-jazz-records-presents-soul-jazz-records-presents-disco-reggae-rockers-various-cd","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
