The Wailers & U-Roy – My Cup Runneth Over (RSD 2021)

Description

In 1976, U Roy was the new attraction in Jamaican music. With his first hit Wake the Town six years earlier, he had imposed a new style on the Kingston soundsystems, which consisted of taking up local hits by speaking in ‘voice over’ around the choruses. That year he took on the Wailers’ ‘Soul Rebel’, which he transformed into the ‘Natty Rebel’, which would become his absolute hit until today.
