The source of Jamaican love - the quiet passion of rocksteady.
A representative album of Jamaican rocksteady from the 1960s. Harriott's soulful voice and the sound of the horns create a masterpiece reminiscent of a tropical twilight.
"Loser / Now We Know" is a representative rocksteady number by Derrick Harriott, released in 1967. "Loser," featuring Harriott's sweet and melancholic vocals, is a song that can be said to be the origin of Jamaican soul, and its expressiveness that warmly embraces the pain of heartbreak is attractive. The companion track, "Now We Know," features Bobby Ellis' soft horn arrangement and Desmond Miles Seven's relaxed rhythm section, creating an exquisite space. This is a record of the era when the rocksteady genre began to mature as not only dance music but also "music to listen to," and is a valuable 7-inch that will remain in the history of Jamaican music.
