Losing You Riddim – Various Labels

Losing You produced by Coxsone Dodd, Gregory Isaacs for Coxsone, Bamboo, Cash And Carry, Studio One in 1969

Coxsone Dodd’s 1969 Losing You riddim comes out of the Studio One camp and circles around one of Studio One’s cleaner late-’60s vocal backings. The best-known cuts here are The Mad Lads’ Losing You, Cedric Brooks’ Tell Her I Love Her, and The Wailing Souls’ later All Alone, with a dub-style take from Bubble Up Style adding another angle to the rhythm. It’s a useful snapshot of the label’s shelf life too, since the same foundation kept resurfacing years later across different voices and versions, which is exactly the kind of durable Studio One pattern Coxsone’s catalogue is known for.
