Dance With Me

Tribulations

All Day (Glastonbury 2015) w/ JA/TDOT link

In 2006 I co-produced and wrote extensive liner notes for a CD and vinyl reissue of Noel Ellis' s/t 1983 debut LP from Jerry Brown's Malton, Ontario-based Summer Records (re-released via Light In The Attic Records as part of the six-album Jamaica-Toronto series). "Dance with Me" was recently sampled on Kanye West's "All Day." West, an American cultural heavyweight has come under fire in Toronto over the last week for his upcoming performance at the Pan Am Games. Any journalists out there wanna tie this Jamaican-Canadian link in to the story? Please spread the word to anyone who may be interested and peep the end of Kanye's Glastonbury 2015 performance above for a taste of the mighty "Dance with Me" in action!!!
