If You Should Lose Me produced by Bunny Striker Lee, Leroy Smart for Striker Lee in 1975
Bunny Striker Lee produced this 1975 cut for the Striker Lee label, with Johnny Clarke’s If You Should Lose Me leading the way and Leroy Smart teamed with Trinity on the 1977 companion tune If You Should Take Me. It’s a compact two-track roots-era piece that fits neatly into Lee’s mid-’70s catalogue, where lean arrangements and strong vocal performances were a big part of the sound. Johnny Clarke was one of Lee’s key singers in that period, and this kind of pairing shows the producer’s knack for turning a single rhythm into memorable, characterful versions that still feel tightly tied to the era.
