Sunday March 2nd.Amsterdam BeatClub: Tardam Records release party at Drifters Bar, Jamaica!
Rhythm and Blues / Soul / Rocksteady Party
live: THE SAVOYS (NL) with special guest OTIS GAYLE (JAM)
presenting the new Tardam Records 45 rpm release:
Johnny Too Bad (TA-011)
Otis Gayle was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1946. He started his musical career as a singer with The Virtues and Byron Lee & the Dragonaires. Gayle then started his solo career and in particular his version of 'I'll Be Around' for Coxsone Dodd (Studio Room One) became a success in 1972. In 1983 he received a Juno award. His hit 'Heaven Will Need To Have Delivered You' was certified as the very best Reggae Song. The singer also accompanied artists such as Barry White, Joe Tex and Jackie Mittoo. His status as one of rocksteady's pioneers was discovered by a new generation in 2001 when the revival label Spirit Jazz released "Studio Room One Soul", featuring Gayle's beautiful interpretation of 'I'll Be Around'.
After playing a few concerts together with the Savoys (Amsterdam BeatClub, Paradiso, This Is Ska Festival, Rosslau) a soulful version of the rocksteady classic 'Johnny Too Bad' was recorded at the Van Studio’s.
At this party the 45rpm vinyl will be officially released on Tardam Records (TA-011) ...come all over and celebrate with us!
