Scorpio All Stars – Vol.1 Singers Explosion 88 Overview

If you love reggae’s one drop rhythm, “Scorpio All Stars – Vol. 1 Singers Explosion 88” is a set you should know. This album was produced by the well-known sound system and record producer Maurice “Jack Scorpio” Johnson. Jack Scorpio’s Black Scorpio studio is famous for its deep roots sound and has shaped many reggae classics since the 1980s. The artists on this album each bring their own style to the one drop base, which is the heartbeat of roots reggae. Barrington Levy is one of reggae’s most distinctive voices. His track “She Is Mine” shows why he’s a legend—Levy’s classic hit “Here I Come” is known worldwide, and his smooth delivery fits perfectly with the Scorpio sound. Conrad Crystal’s “She Keep Me Warm” and Hopton James’ “Twisting” add a soulful touch, each riding the riddim with uplifting energy. Johnny Osbourne, with “Right Move,” brings his decades of experience—he’s known for the hit album “Truths and Rights.” Mikey Melody’s “Hello Lady” is sweet and melodic, showing how the one drop rhythm allows singers to shine. These recordings are still played in roots reggae sets today, proving the lasting power of the Scorpio All Stars sound. For reggae fans, this album is a true celebration of the one drop style.
