Riding For A Fall produced by Bunny Striker Lee, Phil Pratt, Coxsone Dodd, R. Beason for Roots International, Studio One, Peer Pressure in 1968
Originally cut by Delroy Wilson in 1968, Riding For A Fall links Roots International, Studio One, and Peer Pressure to a deep roots-to-dancehall line-up that also runs through Bunny Striker Lee, Phil Pratt, Coxsone Dodd, and R. Beason. The set moves from Wilson’s title tune into later versions by Horace Andy, Johnny Clarke, Dennis Alcapone, George Nooks, Admiral Tibet, Anthony B, Luciano, and Lukie D, with the early foundation cut sitting alongside 2002 revisits and 1970s interpretations. It also highlights how a classic Studio One-era song can keep resurfacing across generations, especially through singers like Horace Andy and Johnny Clarke, who helped carry the riddim well beyond its original rocksteady frame.
