OLDIES SUNDAY: Ray I – Weatherman Skank (1977)

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you haven’t heard the news, Hurricane Melissa is upon us. For those in Jamaica, Haiti/Dominican Republic, Cuba, and surrounding areas/Islands, we urge you to please be safe. While we try to secure our belongings and sanity, we play music. How about something from “Oldies Sunday“? Today, we go back to the 70s to check out Ray I’s “Weatherman Skank“.

Produced by Carlton Patterson on the “Weatherman Skank Riddim“, and released through the Black & White Label in 1977, Ray I brings us the forecast for today, and everyday in, “Weatherman Skank”. Over some energetic production, Ray I gets busy with the deejaying throughout, giving Weather updates, and handling the Riddim with ease. The “Weatherman Skank Riddim” was a popular Riddim back in the day, and Ray I’s single was not only popular, but was just one of many releases that took control of the scene with the Artists grasping your attention with their crowd-gathering lyrics and flow. The popularity of the single also earned him the nickname, “Weather Man“.

Since the release of “Weatherman Skank”, Ray I would release a number of singles and a couple albums over the years. He was active some time in the early 2020s, but not much has been heard about him since. “Weatherman Skank” is still played in parts of the world. Stay safe, stay dry.

Thank You Ray I For This Hit!

We Remember The Late Frankie Paul In Our “Cover Kings Vol. 3” Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On October 19, music lovers celebrated the 60th birthday of the late Jamaican Vocalist, Frankie Paul. Having made his transition in 2017, Paul was one of the go-to Singers in Dancehall and Reggae. Dubbed the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder” due to visual impairment, but a brilliant talent as a Singer, he became a star since his younger days, piling on hits, singles, and albums in his solid career. Today, we remember his exceptional talent, but also his knack for knocking out a Cover Song. Tune in to our new Playlist, “Cover Kings Vol. 3 – Frankie Paul“.

With the new “Cover Kings” Playlist, we highlight some of the many cover songs Frankie Paul released over the years. From covering Guy, Lionel Richie, Loose Ends, Bobby Brown, to covering fellow Jamaican Artists Dennis Brown and John Holt, Paul was a 1 of 1 talent. Listeners can reminisce on the first time they heard these songs, and for a moment forget about the stress of the world. We miss Frankie Paul on the scene, but he left behind a legacy that’s unmatched. Thank you Frankie Paul, and continue to sleep well.

Vol. 1 featuring Sanchez here. Vol. 2 featuring Ghost here. For more Playlists, click here.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Double Ugly – Seven Hero Dance (1992)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of October in Jamaica recognizes the heritage of the Island, and the heroes who fought for freedom. On Monday October 20, the Island celebrates “Heroes’ Day“, and awards various members of society with National Honours at King’s House. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to give some people a reminder of our National Heroes. Today, we highlight Recording Artist Double Ugly, and the track, “Seven Hero Dance“.

Produced by Courtney Cole, and released through Roof International in 1992, Double Ugly reminded the people of our National Heroes in, “Seven Hero Dance”. Double observed back then that people were only namedropping a couple of National Heroes, and made it his duty to refresh their memory. With the uptempo production, we got an energetic track that got the people dancing while being educated. “Seven Hero Dance” gained some popularity soon after release, and was featured on the Compilation project, “Rooftop Skanking“, which was distributed through RUNNetherlands Music.

Double Ugly went on to release more music after the release of “Seven Hero Dance”. For some time some confused him with Dancehall Artist Ninja Man as “Double Ugly” was Ninja’s original stage name before the change, even though they sound nothing alike in their releases. For those who need a History lesson, take a seat in Double Ugly’s class today.

Thank You Double Ugly For this Track!
