OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): Anthony Selassie – Rub-A-Dub Christmas (1989)

Posted on December 3, 2023December 10, 2023 by swadedavillain

It’s that time of year where those who live where it snows long for warmer temperatures, and businesses look to make the most money they’ve made all year. It’s Christmas time on Oldies Sunday. For today’s selection, we go back to the 80s to check out Anthony Selassie’s “Rub-A-Dub Christmas“.

Produced by Sugar Minott and released through Youth Promotion in 1989, “Rub-A-Dub Christmas” was all about the parties, the unity, the love, and the immense vibes during the holiday season. Anthony Selassie borrows the classic “Tis The Season” melody, and delivers a version that everyone got along with. If your Bank account was low, it didn’t matter because everyone felt irie when this one played. “Rub-A-Dub Christmas” was featured on the “Christmas Jamboree” compilation that featured Sugar Minott and a few of his friends, and was released through Youth Promotion. Roll up some Collie Weed, and boogie down with your partner to this one.

Since the release of “Rub-A-Dub Christmas”, Anthony Selassie continued to have an active music career with his latest release being earlier this year. “Rub-A-Dub Christmas” still gets played around the world, along with many other Christmas-themed songs.

Thank You Anthony Selassie For This Tune!

Posted on February 18, 2023August 30, 2023 by swadedavillain

On February 8, the music world lost one of the most influential persons in Pop Music, the late Burt Bacharach. With his songwriting, production, and various compositions whether solo or done with collaborators, Bacharach has given us some of the greatest songs and sounds, helped to elevate the careers of some of the best Artists including Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, and Dusty Springfield, and scored Films such as “Casino Royale” (a James Bond Parody), “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid“, “Arthur“, and “A Boy Called Po“. His work has influenced many, and in our latest Playlist, we cover some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered his songs.

In the “Jamaica Sings Burt Bacharach!” Playlist, we’ve featured 18 tracks that have given hit songs from the late Burt Bacharach a Jamaican touch. From Dennis Brown, to Wayne Wonder, to Diana King, to Dobby Dobson, get yourself familiar or reacquainted with some great music that came to life by Bacharach’s genius. Jamaicans covering some of your favourite International songs always went hand in hand, and we hope to cover a few more like this in the future. Sleep well Burt Bacharach.

Chip Off The Old Block: Meet The New Kids Of Dancehall x Reggae (Pt. 5)

Posted on April 3, 2016April 3, 2016 by swadedavillain

First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more. In part 5 of a few part series, I feature more of the new set of kids on the scene whose parents have covered much ground in their respective careers.
