We Salute Producer Leslie Kong In Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today (July 1) is recognized as “International Reggae Day“, and we salute the pioneers, the movers and shakers, and the talent who took this genre to every part of the world, influencing generations. One of people who made Reggae an emerging force in the beginning was the late Producer Leslie Kong. Through Kong, the career of Jimmy Cliff took off, the launch of Beverley’s Records from a small Record Shop, to a Internationally known Record Label happened, Bob Marley got to record his first single, the establishment of Chris Blackwell’s Island Records and Graeme Goodall’s short-lived Pyramid label through his early investments, and taking Reggae Music to the International market. Kong also became the Island’s leading Producer having worked with everyone from Toots and The Maytals, Desmond Dekker, and many others. Today, we salute his work with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Leslie Kong“.

For over 3 1/2 hours, “Sampling Leslie Kong” highlights some of Kong’s many hits, and the songs that sampled them. From Jimmy Cliff, to Toots and The Maytals, to Bob Marley, to Desmond Dekker, to Christina Aguilera, to Foxy Brown, to Shaggy, to Vampire Weekend, to SchoolBoy Q, to FatBoySlim, the new Playlist will entertain you, and of course educate you. International Reggae Day was created by Andrea Davis, and it celebrates 30 years. IRD has a selection of events that many can participate in, and you can join in now on IReggaeDay.com.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @MarcAnthony – You Sang To Me (2000)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of June is recognized as “Caribbean American Heritage Month“, and today we close the Month on “Oldies Sunday“ with a Singer who has solidified himself as a legend. Today’s selection comes from Puerto Rican-American Singer/Actor Marc Anthony with “You Sang To Me“.

Co-Produced with Cory Rooney and released through Columbia Records in 2000, Marc Anthony was all about falling in love in “You Sang To Me”. Sometimes the person you want to love and make a solid foundation was in front of you all this time, and this song taps into that scenario as Anthony shares his connection with that person, and the first time he realized he was falling in love with her. Anthony delivers with smooth vocals over a solid production, and it was bound to command the listener’s attention in the first few seconds. According to a couple Interviews, “You Sang To Me” was inspired by Anthony’s relationship with Singer/Actress Jennifer Lopez as he fell in love with her while being married to another Woman. Eventually they became an item with Marriage and children, and divorced after 10 years. “You Sang To Me” was featured on his 1999 self-titled 4th Album, which went on to sell 4 Million copies. “You Sang To Me” was success for Marc Anthony as the single went #1 on Music Charts in the US, Canada, and Croatia, and was nominated for a GRAMMY in 2001. The song was certified Gold in Austria, Norway, and Sweden, but went MultiPlatinum in Jamaica as it is on almost every R&B/Souls Mixtape, and has lived on Jamaican Radio for a very long time. A number of remixes of “You Sang To Me” was released in 2000, and a Spanish version was released in 2006 on a compilation project.

Since the release of “You Sang To Me”, Marc Anthony went on to become one of the highest selling Salsa Artists of all time, earning a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. He has sold over 12 Million albums worldwide, scored 4 GRAMMY awards, won 8 Latin GRAMMY awards, is a 29-time Lo Nuestro Awards winner, appeared in a number of Films, TV Shows, and Stage productions, is a minority owner of the Miami Dolphins, and has been involved in a number of Philanthropic activities and organizations. Marc Anthony has accomplished a lot over the years, but “You Sang To Me” remains one of his biggest hits.

Thank You Marc Anthony For This Classic!
