    ‘Reggae Got Soul’: Toots and the Maytals Declare Their Gospel-R&B Lineage on Island, 1975

    The title says what Toots Hibbert always was — a soul singer in a reggae band. On Island’s Mango imprint, Reggae Got Soul packages the Maytals’ church-bred phrasing and hard Kingston rhythms for the album market at the peak of their touring years.

    ‘Legalize It’: Peter Tosh Signs to CBS, Plants Ganja on the Cover and Goes Global, 1976

    Two years after leaving the Wailers, Peter Tosh delivers his CBS debut — an album whose title track became a rallying cry for marijuana legalisation and whose cover photograph showed him tending a cannabis field. Produced with Joe Gibbs and backed by Sly & Robbie, ‘Legalize It’ announces the Stepping Razor as a solo force.

    Money in My Pocket: Dennis Brown’s Joe Gibbs Recut Conquers the UK Charts, 1979

    Brown first cut ‘Money in My Pocket’ for Joe Gibbs in 1972. The 1978 Joe Gibbs–produced update breaches the UK pop charts in March 1979 — his only UK Top 10 hit — and his Montreux Jazz Festival performance that year introduces the Crown Prince to a new audience.

    ‘Mampie’ and ‘Big Up’: Shaggy’s Ma Dog Dancehall Debut on the Brooklyn Circuit Before Boombastic, 1995

    Long before the Levi’s advert and the Grammy, Orville Burrell was a Flatbush toaster cutting dubplates with Sting International — ‘Mampie’ and ‘Big Up’ topped New York reggae radio, and by 1995 Virgin had the ma dog on a global album.

    Music

    Pon Di Gaza 2.0: Vybz Kartel Brands a Movement and Drops One of Dancehall’s Busiest Albums, 2010

    With thirty-five tracks and a roster of Gaza-affiliated artists, Pon Di Gaza 2.0 formalises the Gaza Empire as more than a camp — it is a franchise. Kartel is at the height of his commercial and creative powers, and dancehall’s centre of gravity shifts to Portmore.
