Curly Locks Overview

Rocksteady began in Jamaica in the late 1960s. Its smooth rhythms and relaxed beat shaped the future of reggae. Today, that rocksteady flow still moves crowds at reggae events around the world. A key part of reggae’s history is GREENSLEEVES RECORDS. The label started in London in 1975 and quickly became a big name in reggae music. GREENSLEEVES RECORDS is known for releasing many classic reggae and dancehall tracks. Their influence helped bring Jamaican music to a global audience. On the Curly Locks Riddim from 1985, two artists stand out: Barrington Levy and Frankie Paul. Barrington Levy is famous for his unique voice and many hits. His song “I Feel Free” rides the riddim with a catchy, soulful style. Levy is also well known for his classic hit “Here I Come.” Frankie Paul, often called the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder,” was praised for his powerful vocals. On this riddim, he sings “Hold Me,” showing his smooth and emotional delivery. Frankie Paul had a long career with many popular songs and albums. The rocksteady flow, heard in these songs and artists, keeps reggae’s spirit alive today. Its easy rhythm and deep feeling continue to inspire new generations of fans and musicians.
