SKU: JRLP033 OverviewDescription:
UK import!
The
Soulful voice of Cornell Campbell has created so many fine tunes
and voice has been sprinkled over countless dub albums that
might unknowingly already lie in your collections. As his vast
catalogue of Rasta influence, Lovers Rock, cover versions
and Dancehall and Gorgon (more of which later) tinged tracks
are so intertwined with the whole 1970's Reggae
Era.
Cornell Campbell
(b1948,Jamaica.) like many of the fine singers coming out of
Jamaica,
he began his musical career at Coxsone Dodd's Studio One,as far
back as 1959 cutting some old classics as 'Under The Old Oak
Tree' and 'Old King Cole' among others. Through the Mid to
Late 1960's Cornell cut tracks under his own name and also as
a duo alongside Alan Martin. In 1967 he also became a member
of the band Uniques, learning his craft from their leading
voice Slim Smith. 1969 saw Cornell branch away and form his
own group The Eternals under the guise of which he cut two of his
classic tracks 'Queen of The Minstrels' and
'Stars'.
His most fruitful
partnership came around in 1971 when he began to work with
Producer Bunny 'Striker' Lee. Initially to fill the void left
by the sad passing away of the fabulous Slim Smith, who was
one of Bunny Lee's main singers. Cornell's singing suited Slim
Smiths so much, having already been tried and tested in the
fore mentioned band the Uniques.
