[MrDerekMullings]

Cornell Campbell, lead singer. :-)

[Shemra]

@MrDerekMullings

 The lead falsetto you're hearing belongs to George Allison. The other two members of The Mad Lads are Delroy Williams and Ricky Grant. Cornel's verson is sweet, but he was not, to my knowledge, a member of The Mad Lads.

[123gogary]

@Shemra Thank you Sir - The College of Knowledge

@123gogary

One love bredin. My dad loved to collect records/play sound & my mom used to love to dance, well she still does even though she's in her seventies now. So, I used to sit and read album covers an such. George Allison put out a discomix of the same tune round about 1980. Dem time I was a teenager going to dance myself. Thanks for the upload.

Sign of a great tune.

[mikeygeneral]

turn off that compressor!

[mikeygeneral]

My father was one of the trombone players for this track.

Clinton Higgins - Soundemension. I still can't believe it. Who knew all those nights he would come home dead tired from recording all day, and a nearly failed marriage becouse of it that i would go on a thing called the internet and see people talking about his music. I'm still in awe of it.

R.I.P. - Your headstone might deteriate, But your music will live on!

R.I.P. Clinton Higgins - With love, Your son.

[123gogary]

Nice trubute, the music lives on. Big chune in my crib.

[mikeygeneral]
