Carlton Livingston is one of the great, sort of lost singers of the early eighties dancehall scene. He's just released a new album,
Bridge of Life and it's a killer. Under the production of
Grant Phabao, Carlton's smooth style and voice made this album full of both dancehall mashers and lovers tunes. The sound is a cross between
Groundation and more traditional 70's reggae from the island. Here's a selection of some of his earlier hits mixed with a few tracks from this new album.
