I’m slowly starting to realize how much influence the music my mom has played around the house has influenced me. I was never even really into reggae, mainly because it was just something I constantly heard. A lot of my mom’s favourite songs, and the songs I heard growing up, were produced by Winston Riley. So it’s weird to think about how someone who I didn’t know of until his death, influenced the way I make songs.
feeling this. as another kid who grew up with jamaican parents who danced, collected, loved rocksteady and jamaican soul, i always took it for granted. as i got older, i started to appreciate it more (and even copied my dad in collecting it. oof my wallet)
hadn’t heard of Winston Riley before, sad he passed.
So much good music out of Jamaica its staggering. Enjoy this soul gem
