Description
He was bursting onto the Jamaican scene in the early 1970s with his typical rapping style of singing (toasting) over the rhythms and beats he created. All of a sudden, Jamaica awoke one morning and U-Roy was everywhere. He released his debut album Version Galore in 1970, it consists of his earliest songs, all recorded for Duke Reids Treasure Isle label. Most listeners will especially recognize Tide Is High, originally by the Paragons and recorded later as a 1980 hit by Blondie. Enjoy listening to the way hes bringing his lyrics all over the record. Its toasting at best.
