Per listener request, I present the “Left with a Broken Heart” rhythm. Some people are surprised to find out that Dennis Brown’s “Revolution” and Barrington Levy’s “Here I Come” are actually versions of “Left with a Broken Heart.” But listen to the basslines and you’ll hear “Left with a Broken Heart” without the bridge and chorus changes. Many rhythm updates are just portions of a song’s bassline–usually the most memorable section–repeated over and over.
