#5 – Alton’s Official Daughter
One of my favorite rhythm remakes is Fashion’s update of Alton Ellis’ stylish love song, “Alton’s Official Daughter.” On #5, I play two different Fashion remakes from Al Campbell and Debbie Gordon. This is a rhythm that I never got around to playing when I was doing college radio, so I’m happy that I can present it today. British singer, Peter Spence, sent me his new song, “Every Little Thing.” I love that through Myspace, I can keep in touch with these lovers rock pioneers. I still wish that the scene was as popular as say, the late ’70s through the early ’90s. A few mid-’80s tracks from Aswad, Undivided Roots, and UB40 round out #5.
