Description:

Jamaican Soul by Pat Kelly, released 24 January 2025. This version of Jamaican Soul comes as a 1xCD. -

Reissue. 2010 release. Pat Kelly possesses one of the great soul voices to come out of Jamaica. Influenced by the fantastic American singer Sam Cook, Pat Kelly could ride over any tune that came his way and with his outstanding falsetto voice always added a little magic to each recording. Pat Kelly began his singing career in 1967 when he replaced Slim Smith as lead singer of the Techniques, his voice working so well with the impeccable harmonies of Winston Riley and Bruce Ruffin. In 1968 Kelly decided to become a solo artist and hooked up with producer Bunny Lee. Another string to Pat Kelly's bow was his engineering skills. Having already spent a year in America studying electronics he put this to good use and became little known to many one of the chief engineers at Channel 1 studios in the late 1970s and early 1980s. For this release, Kingston Sounds have focused on the fabulous singing skills of Kelly and have compiled some of his finest recording moments.

Tracks 15 to 18 are CD Bonus Tracks. Recorded at: Federal, Channel 1, Randy's Studio 17, Dynamic, Harry J's, King Tubby's Produced by: Bunny Lee, Phil Pratt & Friends.
