Born To Love You Riddim – WIRL, Studio One, Wind

Born To Love You produced by Bunny Striker Lee, Coxsone Dodd, Winston Riley, Augustus Clarke for WIRL, Studio One, Wind in 1967

Born To Love You Riddim dates back to 1967 and moves through WIRL, Studio One, and Wind with a classic rocksteady-era cast led by The Sensations, Slim Smith, and later versions from The Techniques, Pablo Black, and Ansell Collins. The original The Sensations cut and Slim Smith’s 1968 take both anchor the set, while the later dub outing, Creation Dub, adds a deeper instrumental turn. Bunny Lee, Coxsone Dodd, Winston Riley, and Augustus Clarke all appear in the production credits, which gives the rhythm a strong line back through some of the most important names in Jamaican music. It’s a compact but wide-ranging rhythm that shows how one melody kept finding new life across labels and years.
