Comment:

Well, my girlfriend has been "delicately" noting that I haven't made her a mix in some time. So, as I was happy to oblige I felt this mix would do the trick.

As it is 180 Degrees with 110 percent humidity, here, in New Jersey, I felt this mix of Jamaican styled love tunes would be well received. Ska, Rocksteady, Dancehall, et al...it's all here, mon.

Nothin' like steamy weather love. And, reggae, of course.

By any chance is that "La La Means I Love You" a Delfonics cover? (I'm not even gonna ask about "Puppy Love.") Nice work.

Yes, La La Means I Love You is a cover. Many of the Motown Hits were covered by Jamaican Groups back in the day. This is one of those examples.

For a good listen of the like, see the Studio One Soul release.

Really lovely, and perfect for the summer, even if the NJ temperature isn't ideal! I'm sure she'll love it. Cool cover too.

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. This mix is like a double decker organic ice cream cone, with free range sprinkles and wild fudge sauce. And powdered sugar. Delicious.

Wanna trade for this? I went to Negril 4 times in the late 80's, and loved it. Wonder what it's like now? I recall dancing to a cool song called Bam Bam by a guy named Tiger, I think. Know it?
