Poor And Humble Riddim – Down Beat, Thompson Sound, Greensleeves

Poor And Humble produced by Linval Thompson, Mickie Scott for Down Beat, Thompson Sound, Greensleeves in 1981

Poor And Humble Riddim came out in 1981 as a Linval Thompson and Mickie Scott production for Down Beat, Thompson Sound and Greensleeves, bringing together seven cuts from Barry Brown, General Saint, Junior Reid, King Kong, Scientist, Wayne Wade and Yami Bolo. Wayne Wade’s Poor And Humble (Humble Man) anchors the set, while Barry Brown’s Catch Dem Jah Jah and the Barry Brown and General Saint combination Belly Fe Full add strong vocal variety beside Junior Reid’s Mr Big Man and Scientist’s Cloning Process. The selection blends singers and deejay energy in a way that reflects the early-80s Thompson Sound style, and Wade was already enjoying a strong run with Linval Thompson productions around that time.
