Valley Of Decision/The Collection 1973 1974

Description

This superb compilation brings together recordings from the early 1970s produced by Alton Ellis himself. It features powerful and elegant reggae tracks, enriched by a remarkable brass section that adds energy and depth to the arrangements. A major figure in Jamaican music, Alton Ellis is considered one of the inventors of rocksteady, earning him the nickname "Godfather of Rocksteady." His style, blending soul, ska, and reggae, has profoundly influenced several generations of artists. Awarded in 2006 with his induction into the Hall of Fame of the International Reggae And World Music Awards, he remains an essential reference for classic reggae and Jamaican music today.
