And here's another wonderful cut Pat Kelly made on the same rhythm. This time he's covering James Carr's Dark End Of The Street...

Following on from my post yesterday, here's Pat Kelly's How Long Will It Take.

A truly beautiful vocal performance with added strings on this UK release on Gas. It became a huge seller in 1969...

As well as providing harmonies, Leroy Sibbles also played bass on this.

Happy 78th birthday to Bernard Collins of The Abyssinians.

Bernard recorded this legendary 7" at Studio 1 in 1971 without his fellow Abyssinians, but with Leroy Sibbles and George Henry providing the beautiful harmonies...

Big Youth sings, chants and talks his way through Keep Your Dread.

Released in 1975, this is deep cultural teaching over a bass heavy dub of the Artibella rhythm...
