Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since we addressed things in a reggae stylee<\/em> here, and since I had something warming up in the on-deck circle, I thought it wise to whip it on you.<\/p>\n

I first featured the sounds of Pat Rhoden<\/strong> about a year and a half ago, and \u2013 oddly enough \u2013 it was also a cover of a Stevie Wonder<\/strong> tune, in that case \u2018Boogie On Reggae Woman\u2019.<\/p>\n

As someone who\u2019s always on the lookout for reggae\/rock steady covers of US soul material, finding that first record was a treat. Happening upon today\u2019s selection in the months afterward was a double secret irie treat indeed.<\/p>\n

Rhoden was a singer who, though he recorded more than a little, seems to have receded into the mists of time.<\/p>\n

He waxed sides for Ska Beat, Trojan, Attack and Horse from the 1960s on, as well as recording as half of the duo Winston and Pat<\/strong> (with the mighty Winston Groovy<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

He recorded his version of \u2018Living For the City\u2019 in 1974 (Stevie took the OG to Number One in November of 1973).<\/p>\n

Opening on an odd beat (but dropping into the reggae in short order), Rhoden\u2019s version is slower than Wonders, but plenty funky.<\/p>\n

I really dig the electric piano bed (there\u2019s some acoustic piano in there too) running underneath everything and Rhoden\u2019s vocal is very groovy.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
