Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Part of Universal/Hip-O's series of classic reggae anthologies, Black Uhuru's ULTIMATE COLLECTION comes closer than some to living up to such a daunting title. Almost all of these 17 tracks come from Black Uhuru's classic late '70s/early '80s lineup featuring vocalists Michael Rose and the late Sandra "Puma" Jones, two of the finest singers in reggae history. (Indeed, there are those who feel that Rose's piercing tenor is up there with Marvin Gaye's and Sam Cooke's as one of the greatest male voices in pop. ) Powered by the legendary production team/rhythm section of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, Black Uhuru pulled off the tricky feat of making reggae records which appealed to pop and rock fans without sounding like watered-down sell-out attempts.
