Sweet Harmony: 1970s Reggae Love Songs

Description

The 1970’s was a truly glorious decade of reggae. While the likes of Bob Marley, Burning Spear and Culture powerfully highlighted political and social inequalities, and the message of Rasta, other artists, both in Jamaica and the UK, drew inspiration from the joys and pains of romantic love. With numerous tracks unavailable on any format for decades, `Sweet Harmony’ provides lovers of romantic reggae sounds with the perfect soundtrack not just for Valentine’s Day, but for all year round.
