OLDIES SUNDAY: Cat Coore & Kiddus I – Jah Sun You Rise (1997)

On January 18, the legendary Musician Stephen “Cat” Coore, co-founder of Third World, passed away. Fans, family, and peers mourn this loss, and tributes are pouring in from around the world. A brilliant Musician, Coore knew how to reel in listeners with his sound, and when he takes the stage, it’s all about his performances. On “Oldies Sunday“, we pay tribute to him with the selection, “Jah Sun You Rise“.

Released through MiDehYa in 1997 and featuring Kiddus I, it was appreciation for the Creator, and one of the greatest creations being the Sun in, “Jah Sun You Rise”. Paired with great Instrumentation, we hear of the greatness of the Sun in contributing to life, guiding one’s path, and its radiance in times of darkness. The song also calls for the Sun to lead people to the right path, put light into the hearts of people who need it, and help to make the world a better place. “Jah Sun You Rise” was featured on Cat Coore’s 1997 debut album, “Uptown Rebel“, and was well-received by fans of his Musicianship, and of Third World.

Since the release of “Jah Sun You Rise”, Cat Coore continued to release a few singles, but being onstage with his Third World brethren found him displaying even more of his skillset. His musical legacy will be carried on by his family, and his name lives on in the hearts of many.
