14 Valentine's Selections dancheall/reggae style

Everyone's doing one, so I thought I'd hop on the wagon before it pulls off the dock. Everyone gravitates to the songs with a more sexually explicit nature, so I thought I'd post some big songs that I think are appropriate for the pagan's festival of lust aka Valentine's. I've mixed it up over various generations, sounds and dem ting deh.

1. Gyptian - "Beautiful Lady"



2. Jah Cure - "Never Find" lead lady played by his now wife. How sweet?



3. Dennis Brown - "Have You Ever"



4. Bob Marley - "Waiting In Vain"



5. Gregory Isaacs - "Soon Forward"



6. Beres Hammond - "Groovy Little Thing"



7. Sanchez - "I Can't Wait"



8. Tanto Metro & Devante - "Everyone Falls In Love Sometimes"



9. Wayne Wonder - "No Letting Go"



10. Damian Marley ft. Bobby Brown - "Beautiful"

"All this blinging it's like you forgot/ Use cheddar as the bait then you recruit a rat/ So we listen couple speech ah Martin Luther chat/ Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and some Supercat" - WHEEL!



11. Buju Banton - "Wanna Be Loved"



13. Vybz Kartel - "Yuh Love"



13. Alaine - "Deeper"



14. Mavado - "Settle Down"



Bonus: Whitney Houston - "My Love Is Your Love"

Yes, this is a reggae song. Didn't even realise the importance of her singing on a sound system until the other day. RIPower Nippy

II - sequel to his 1995 debut album.

You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
