Alton ELLIS - Let's Stay Together (7")

Format: 7"
Genre: Reggae Classics/Ska
SKU: PD69008804

Alton Ellis took on Al Green's soul classic and made it entirely his own: recorded for Coxsone in Jamaica in 1972, Ellis wore his early reggae clothes, his silky vocal barely stroking the arrangement, staying respectful of one of American soul's most beloved. But it doesn't defer to the original, and this trait was Ellis's particular gift through his Studio One covers years; hear the same knack in action on the flip, with a version of Sound Dimension's 'Let's Stay', riddim stripped back like worn-and-torn, thin-gauge wire.
