Leroy Smart - Amazing album flac

Leroy Smart (born 1952, Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae singer and producer. Smart was born in 1952 and orphaned at the age of two. He was raised at Maxfield Park Children's Home and educated at Alpha Boys School, where he studied singing, drums, and dancing. Smart recorded his first single, "It Pains Me", in 1969 for a producer called Mr. Caribbean. In 1970, he recorded "Ethiopia" for Joe Gibbs and the first version of one of his most famous songs, "Pride & Ambition", with producer Gussie Clarke

While this Leroy Smart album dosn't include his better-known classics like Shame and Pride, Ballistic Affair, I am the Don or others, it does include some scorching songs with the Don's soulful vocals to the fore. This guy is a great singer - and when his volcals are coupled with a memorable melody, such as on Don't Let me Down (not the Beatles song), Rasta Time, Backout Weakheart, Jah is my Future Guide and the song about gambling, then the album is worth your money. Even the less memorable trcks on this album are okay - and all the way Smart's vocals are top notch  . Not only is this a solid all around album from Mr Smart (out of the Burning Sounds stable which means it doesn't overlap a lot with others) - but it includes the fairly rare Back Out Weak Heart which is a version of Wayne Wade's Lee Perry/Black Ark recorded classic (Black Is Our Color).

Although Leroy Smart debuted on disc in the late '60s, 1973's "Mother Liza was the first 45 to actually strike a chord in the sound systems, setting the stage for his breakout hit, "Pride and Ambition," two years later. With that, the floodgates opened, and Smart unleashed a deluge of popular singles, the bulk cut for either Bunny Lee or the Hoo Kim brothers. A stellar album, one of a clutch the singer released during this heady era. Track Listing.
