A Little Love Riddim – Various Labels

A Little Love produced by Clive Chin, King Jammy, Coxsone Dodd, John John for Impact!, King Stur Gav, Jammy’s, Coxsone, Father, Son in 1971

A Little Love Riddim pulls together a roots-to-dancehall lineup around the 1971 foundation cut, produced by Clive Chin and linked here to Impact, Jammy’s, Coxsone, King Stur Gav and Father Son. Jimmy London’s A Little Love and Nana McLean’s A Little Love anchor the original side of the rhythm, while Augustus Pablo’s A Little Melodica adds a strong instrumental touch and Sound Dimension’s Heavy Beat version gives the set a deeper studio feel. The selection also reaches into later interpretations from artists like Admiral Bailey, Sanchez, Bushman and Harry Toddler, so it plays like a compact cross-era showcase rather than a single-style compilation. It’s a useful snapshot of how one classic rhythm traveled from early seventies roots into the digital age.
