UNITY IS STRENGTH VOL 2 – PARK HEIGHTS 1982
Unity Is Strength Vol 2 – Park Heights Overview
The one drop base is a key sound in reggae music, and it is moving crowds again with the release of Unity Is Strength Vol 2 – Park Heights. This riddim brings together several strong artists, each adding their own style to the classic roots reggae beat. Barry Llewellyn, known for his work with The Heptones, brings warmth and soul to "I Got The Handle-Rks-Missing." He is famous for his role in the group, which helped shape the sound of reggae in the 1970s. Militant Barry And Delroy Wilson join forces on "I Cant Stand It-Rks-Missing." Delroy Wilson was one of Jamaica’s first child stars and later became a respected singer in the roots era. Ranking King’s "Trouble Maker-Rks-Missing" brings energy to the riddim. Lone Ranger, with "Africa Land-Rks-Missing," is well known for his toasting style and had a big hit with "Barnabas Collins" in 1980. Bobby Floyd shines on "Fall In Love-Rks-Missing." He also teamed up with The Heptones for "Need To Belong," showing his ability to blend with legendary voices. Compared to roots anthologies of the same period, this one drop riddim stands out with its deep bass and unity of artists. The culture arranger has a big job, bringing together voices and keeping the classic reggae feeling alive. This style is still important in today’s reggae scene, keeping the roots strong and the dancefloor moving.
