Do you still remember the mixtapes, the tapes we always recorded in the 70s and 80s. We always wore the headphones of the Sonny TPS-L2 Walkman and a little later we carried many kilos of the Boom Box JVC M-90 through the cities. Sorted and forgotten, the magnetic tapes are now stored in cartons and shoe boxes.
I would like to rediscover the songs and start a series of my mixtapes I❤️R(eggae) here.
The song Stick by Me by John Holt was the best selling record in Jamaica in 1972. John was born in Kingston in 1947 and took part in talent contests at the age of 12, of which he had won 28 times. From 1965 he was a member of the Paragons before starting his solo career. He was awarded the Order of Distinction by the Jamaican government for his contribution to Jamaican music. Unfortunately he died in 2014.
