It's Sunday and Lover's Rock is sacred!!!

[Sirena]

Is this Lover's or is it not. But it is Dawn Penn!

 

[Treacle Toes]

I approve Sirena

Classic...a bit like this one

 

[Sirena]

I shall test your patience sorely with this one because I know it's Rocksteady! But I love this woman.....

 

[Treacle Toes]

familiar rhythm

Some lovely tracks posted today mate.

This one bringing the roots/lovers crossover. A big tune, very important one for me too.

 

[BCBlues]

[Sirena]

Yep, my goodbye tune to my pops who died this year so a forever track.

 

[BCBlues]

Sorry to hear that Rutita, at least you got a special tune for pops. I was at a funeral the other week and the congregation sang Prescious Memories hence my earlier post r.e. Jim Reeves. When you get time have a listen to it again, its such an uplifting tune and the words are so true.

Maybe we should start another thread on sad sunday tunes eh.

 

[BCBlues]

sorry dunno what happened there, kept going back to Dawn Penn

 

[Sirena]

Sunday is a time for retrospection, it seems. For being quieter and more in your own place...

 

[Sirena]

Back to the lovers rock

He's not paying attention..... We've done that.... Unless it's a rewind Mr Selecta!

Jim Reeves is another main stay of our household/old times so yeah I know it. Mum still has a 78 box set. Love it!

My Dad (he passed away nearly 6 years ago) had a similar box set but in the "newer" 33 1/3rd LP format.

^^^ Great thread guys, thanks for the input and company/sharing here. Who feels it knows it!

 

[BCBlues]

here we go

 

[Sirena]

Here's a curious one. Abacush were a very cultural all-woman band from the 80s but they very nearly had a pop chart hit with this little floater, thanks to Tony Blackburn of LBC

 

[Miss-Shelf]

thanks for all these tunes - they have chilled me out while I do my weekly planning
any chance of one of you putting them into a mix cloud collection? (cheeky ask)

i never understood why more modern lovers tunes dont get picked up by radio 2 or what not. I thought this could have been a hit in the UK if mainstream radio had picked up on it

You're quite right. But in the last 10 years, reggae has been happy to truck along with the Greensleeves/VP releases and they are mostly coming out of the US with only a sketchy UK presence.

I love Beres: I love his smokey-soul voice and his rootsiness and most of all, I love this tune. Sometimes, with reggae, you think it's just about the riddim and the song on top is not of any great matter. But if you look at the lyrics of this tune, it's a great sufferer's soul song....

[Treacle Toes]

Indeed we need more Beres on this thread, and Dennis Brown...so many more too...Roll on again Sunday

 

[BCBlues]

That was far too hectic to be a Sunday.Time to relax now and why not, a little Beres and a little respect for Rutita and Mum for getting this thread going

 

[BCBlues]

probably more rocksteady than lovers but ideal for this thread and a great tune.
