Lew Kirton - Just Arrived (1980) [2005, Remastered with Bonus Tracks] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Nov. 7, 2021

Smooth soul singer Lew Kirton was born in Barbados and grew up singing in his church choir; he later performed with island vocal groups as Jiggs Kirton. Also an accomplished drummer, he later moved to the United States and took over the drum chair in Sam & Dave's touring revue in 1969. He joined the Philly-styled soul group the Invitations in 1972 as lead vocalist, and they attracted some attention with singles like "They Say the Girl's Crazy" and "Look on the Good Side." Kirton went solo in the late '70s, signing with the Miami-based TK label family (best known for hits by George and Gwen McCrae) in 1977. Teamed with writer/producer Clarence Reid (whose alter ego was, of course, the bawdy comedian Blowfly), his first releases on the Marlin subsidiary included the future collector's item "Do What You Want, Be What You Are." 1978 saw the single release of his best-known song, "Heaven in the Afternoon".

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Live Forever The Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA, 9-23-1980 (2011) Music

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Live Forever The Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA, 9-23-1980 (2011)
FLAC (tracks), Lossless / MP3 320 kbps | 1:47:55 | 805 / 248 Mb
Genre: Reggae / Label: Tuff Gong

The final concert of Bob Marley’s career, this oft-bootlegged show has never sounded better than on this official 2011 release from the Marley estate. With plenty of hiss and maxed levels, Live Forever is hardly perfect when it comes to sound quality, and the laid-back show doesn’t stand up against Marley’s live masterpiece Babylon by Bus, but fans who want their reggae party a little less “punky” will find this a great, chilled alternative. Seeing as they were on tour in support of the album, plenty of material from Uprising appears, including lesser-known numbers such as “Zion Train” and “Work.”
