Let It Be produced by Devon D, Lee Scratch Perry, Coxsone Dodd for People’s Records, Studio One in 1969
Cut at People’s Records and Studio One, this Let It Be riddim dates from 1969 and pulls together a strong set of foundation voices around the Beatles cover idea. Ken Boothe’s Let It Be leads the way, with The Soulettes’ 1969 cut and The Heptones’ 1971 version adding two very different takes, while The Upsetters’ Big Dog Bloxie brings Lee Scratch Perry’s fingerprint into the mix. Credited to Devon D. , Lee Scratch Perry, and Coxsone Dodd, it sits right in the sweet spot where Studio One songcraft meets late-60s reggae reinterpretation, and that combination gives the release a real early-era charm.
