Album: Jamaica to Toronto: Soul Funk and Reggae 1967-1974

For those of you who like your music full of energy, sweet licks and all out funkiness. More Motown (soul) then Kingston (reggae), this collection of songs recorded in Toronto is great for a warm Saturday afternoon barbeque with friends and a cooler full of cold ones.

Highlight tracks:
If This Is Love (I’d Rather Be Lonely) by Eddie Spencer
I Wish It Would Rain by Cougars
Chips – Chicken – Banana Split by Jo-Jo & The Fugitives
African Wake by Johnnie Osbourne

The CD has great packaging with a detailed booklet describing the artists, songs and the Jamaica – Toronto connection that made it all happen.
