RaineSeville

Dropping some hotness today is “Miss Sekkle Down Body” herself, Raine Seville. Her new single, titled “Goodness” and produced by Misik Muzik on the “Cute Bubble Riddim“, is Raine letting the listeners know that she has the best body in the business and the wives will instantly downgrade to “maties” when their men get her attention. Catchy hook and a good effort from Ms. Seville. Look out for more tunes as she aims to climb the musical and “Look Good” charts.

Dropping something for the ladies from all the way in Austria is Dancehall Artist/Producer Jami Dread. Titled “Privilege” and produced by Jami for his label Lyrical War Records, we hear him speak to the ladies who know they stand out from the rest, and possess the kind of beauty that will have men leaving their current lady to take care of her. He also highlights their attitudes and actions and knows it’s because of their qualities why they have that privilege. Not a bad effort here, Jami did well over his own production. Not new to the Dancehall world but he’ll pick up some new fans for this single. What do you think? Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Harry J Allstars "Liquidator"

OLDIES SUNDAY: The Harry J Allstars – The Liquidator (1969)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from The Harry J Allstars, lead by the late Producer, Harry Johnson a.k.a. Harry J. Titled “The Liquidator“, this was an instrumental created in 1969 for Harry J Records. The people involved in the creation along with Harry included Winston Wright (Organs), Aston Barrett (Bass), and Carlton Barrett (Percussion). It was said the Instrumental was originally made for Singer Tony Scott’s “What Am I To Do” minus a few elements. It was recorded but Harry Johnson bought the rights to the song, licensed it to Trojan Records with credit to The Harry J Allstars and added more instrumentals.

“The Liquidator” became a huge success where on October 1969, it peaked at #9 on the UK Singles Chart and in 1980 it peaked at #42. The Instrumental was also became one of the anthems for the emerging “SkinHead” youth subculture. The Bass line for “The Liquidator” was later sampled by American Producer Al Bell, which was used for the massive “I’ll Take You There” single performed by The Staple Singers in 1972. It has since been sampled by Chubb Rock, Dennis AlCapone, Bassomatic and others while it was covered by “Ernie” Ranglin, Val Bennett, Keith Levene and others. “The Liquidator” is also used by popular Football teams Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion, and Wolverhampton Wanderers to name a few. Chelsea is one of the teams to have claimed first usage of the Instrumental and is played in tribute to the winners of the UEFA Champions League.
