    henry the great riddim - black roots

    HENRY THE GREAT RIDDIM produced by BLACK ROOTS 1973-198x

    Henry The Great Overview

    The journey of the Henry The Great Riddim began in the roots reggae era, when selectors were searching for rhythms that could stand the test of time. The foundation of this riddim was carefully crafted, blending deep basslines and classic reggae grooves. It was selector culture that kept these rhythms alive, spinning them at dances and on radio, making sure the roots never faded. Behind the production was BLACK ROOTS, a label and producer active from 1973 into the 1980s. Known for supporting authentic reggae sounds, BLACK ROOTS worked with many respected artists and helped shape the roots reggae landscape. Their releases are still played by selectors and streamed by fans worldwide, keeping their legacy strong. The riddim found its voice through a powerful lineup of artists. Nitty Gritty gave us "Smile A While," adding his unique vocal style. Sugar Minott, who is remembered for his classic album "Black Roots," brought warmth with "Friends." U Roy, a pioneer of toasting and known for his chart-topping album "Dread in a Babylon," delivered "Lovers Rock." Leroy Simmonds contributed "At the Dance," and Rick Wayne offered "Time is the Master." Other highlights include G Vibes with "Jah Love," Jackie Mittoo's instrumental "Henry The Great," and Willie Williams with "Heart Of Medley." Tad Hunter and Marlon Stewart also added their voices. Today, this collection pulses through reggae sets, proving the riddim’s lasting power.
