Jamming in Dub
Ronnie Davis is another mighty Jamaican singer, whose
talents have been greatly overlooked. His rootsy yet soulful voice have
been in demand by many of Jamaica's
producers, and have graced their catalogues over the decades, yet outside
of the close reggae circles he has remained a closely guarded secret.
Born Ronnie Davis, in 1950 [Savannah La Mar, Jamaica ].His singing career began in the 1960's and like many aspiring young singers, the Talent contests taking part around the Island, was his first introduction to the music scene. This lead to him joining the vocal group, 'The Tenors'.Who shortly after his arrival, released their debut 'The Whole World is a Stage'. This was the beginning of a run of Jamaican 7'' releases that did quite well in the domestic market place. But Ronnie had set his sights on a solo career,which came to fruition in the early 1970's,with two big hits for him in the guise of 'Won't You Come Home' and 'Stop Yu Loofing'.Running on through to the mid 1970's with such hits as 'Jah Jah Jehovah','Forget Me Now','On and On' and 'Babylon Falling'. Building up to the 1976 classic, 'It's Raining'.
Around this time Ronnie's path would cross
with Keith Porter and with his childhood friend Roy Smith they would form
one of Jamaica's foremost vocal groups 'The Itals'. A group who would
run until the 1990's and evolve into 'Ronnie Davis and Idren'. Ronnie's
releases are very sort after among the reggae aficionados and any tune
carrying his vocal talents rarely disappoint.
We have compiled some rare roots dubs
to many of his finest cuts.Such gems as 'Chasing You', 'What You See is
What You Get',his take on the timeless cut 'Tribal War', 'Tell You' and
the a fore mentioned smash 'It's Raining'.
A version of Gregory Issac's 'Love Over Due ' is also
present. Ronnie cut an albums worth of material with Mr Issac's, testimony
surely to Mr Davis's standing in the Reggae community.
Lets hope that this release spreads the gospel according to Mr R.Davis,a
little wider.A wicked set by one of Jamaica's finest .....
