On this program, you’ll hear an interview with acton/singer Leon, who has starred and co-starred in films including Cool Runnings, The Five Heartbeats, Cliffhanger, Above the Rim, and Waiting To Exhale, among many others. I think I first noticed Leon through his appearance in Madonna’s controversial “Like a Prayer” music video in 1989. During this interview, Leon spoke to me about his current CD, The Road Less Traveled, and plans for the music on his next album. We talked growing up with Rasta friends in New York, spending time in Jamaica, his musical influences, Beres Hammond producing his first song, and catering to his female fans.

On this episode, I honor more of reggae’s founding fathers. After listening back to the show, I realized I made a mistake regarding an engineer on the Abyssinians - Satta Massagana album. I said Clive Chin but the correct name is Clive Hunt. If you missed Fathers of Reggae Part 1, please check episode #36 for a show featuring Gregory Isaacs, Bob Marley, and Freddie McGregor.
