Day 77 of 365 Day Jamaican Music Challenge - Delroy Wilson - Can't Stop Me
Day 77 and it's time for a little Delroy Wilson. At the ripe age of 13 and under
the auspices of Coxsone Dodd, Delroy Wilson (Oct. 1948 - March 1995)
began his recording career at Studio One. He cut his first track "Emy
Lou" in 1961 and emerged in the ska era as the first line of offensive
armament in a feud amongst rival record producers Duke Reid and Prince
Buster. By the time
rocksteady rolled around Wilson's voice had matured and he had a string
of hits including "Dancing Mood," "Riding For A Fall" and "Conquer Me."
Around that time he left Studio One and went on to record for Bunny
Lee, Joe Gibbs and others and remained active until his untimely death in 1995. Today's tune is called "Can't Stop Me," circa 1972, produced by Bunny Lee and originally released on the Jackpot label... it's a great soulful track!
