The Melodians – “Rivers Of Babylon” (Official Audio)

This is a song released in 1970 by The Melodians, the legendary Jamaican vocal trio.

Its lyrics, based on the Old Testament Psalms, vividly portray the sorrow of people driven from their homeland and their earnest prayers for liberation.

The soulful message blends perfectly with the gentle rhythm characteristic of rocksteady.

Layered on top is a sweet, wistful, yet powerful three-part harmony.

The vocals seem to seep deep into the listener’s heart like a ray of light.

Featured in films and widely beloved through global cover hits, it’s an enduring gospel-reggae classic!

Lee Perry and The Upsetters – Super Ape – 01 – Zion’s Blood

Lee “Scratch” Perry, the father of reggae dub.

Anyone well-versed in reggae will know his name.

Among Perry’s works, the track regarded as supreme is “Zion’s Blood.” It’s the opening song on his classic album Super Ape.

While Perry had already established a fully realized form of dub by the time of Blackboard Jungle Dub, Super Ape is known for surpassing even that.

J Boog – Let’s Do It Again (Official Video)

J Boog is a reggae singer from the United States and is also one of the leading figures in Hawaii’s reggae scene.

His songs are mostly island reggae, so I think people who like surf music will find them easy to enjoy.

This track is one version over the “Major Riddim,” so I also recommend checking out songs by other artists on the same riddim.
