I went to my mechanic 5yrs ago & this riddim was blaring in loudest bass (female singer singing some love songs), I was simply blown away by the riddim...SInce then I have wanted to know the origin and story behind the riddim...wicked thing this!

[dolly11001]

man there aint such a thing as inerpretation is pure from the heart ai.

[Ayanfe13]

I love this so much. His interpretation is wonderful...

[xcapuletx]

thanks for music

[Ayanfe13]

Sooooooooooooooo beautiful, just the sound and all, it is great and the lyrics, it just propelles me into other spheres

[drjimiboy69]

@Ayanfe13 Gotta love Slim Smith bringing his high tenor laments to such a lyrically substantial effort. Killer beat that makes you have to move.

[unseenseer]

Damn I wish the vinyl wasn't so scratchy and the bass tuned in a bit more but it's a great add thank you C!

[ReelTestament]

To those who didnt know this Brother who sometimes is'nt mentioned enough, he is to me one of Jamaicas greatest talent.

[SouthSideSoul]

What a masterful performance by the late great Slim Smith on the Lloyd Coxone Dodd label. Listening to the rhythem track enhances what to me is one of Slim's greatest to name but a few. Excellent.

[imra3]

I love that old vinyl crackle!

[funkprodigio]

Música de 1979 ...época de grandes produções e Mr Slim Smith nos presenteou com essa grande e maravilhosa canção ...adorei !

[pzgdr]

slim smith was one of JA's finest ever singers,no question or doubt...

[lJohnnyTheFoxl]

good version.

[sweetbwayy]

rougher yet fi real

[metrofirst]

More classic music from the west mids region!!

[H1nnerck]

Classic!

[49browning]

ANY ONE KNOW WHAT SON THIS COMES FROM...." i feel the fire burning its getting tougher than tough, the haves will want to be in the shoes of the have nots, if the signs on your door then you will be saved for sure, but if you do not repent your on the wrong side of the fence...." any ideas other than marcia griffith???

[clanccy]

@49browning Marcia did a version of Fire Burning with Cutty Ranks and Bob Andy did a version on his own...I will check my stuff see if I have it by anyone else.

[kbaldeo]

@clanccy but the version with cutty ranks is killer!

[TibtheBear]

why is your name 49 browning, youlive in toronto?

[drjimiboy69]

@49browning Sounds like it comes from the black Freud, the brilliant revolutionary psychoanalyst, Dr. Frantz Fanon...or Marx...or Jesus...or Malcolm...or the BPP...or the 99%. 1%ers better wake up. If I can paraphrase James Baldwin: "If there isn't some serious noblesse oblige, it's gonna be the fire next time." Great sounds. Slim Smith is one of the great voices from the golden age of the rock steady to reggae transition movement. Huge Curtis Mayfield influence on Slim Smith, Pat Kelly etc.

thanks for all these uploads , "i can feel it

all this is history right here

[jimdetroit]

yeah, Sanchez used this whole riff on "Missing You" which was written by Michael Bolton! So we have a direct connection from Slim Smith to Michael Bolton....

[creekfishin]

"you'll get crushed in the rush...straighten up, straighten up....lord, help them please....." i love this tune...its one of slim's few attempts at being 'rough and tough'

[bredfruit]

BIG BIG TUNE,selecta yu great!! BLESS UP!!

[punitcuz]

dis is love bump riddim rite???

[clanccy]

Hiya, it is actually the 'rougher yet' riddim or that was what it was known as originally, some folk think its the same as the 'love bump' because they are similar...check out my Sanchez 'Missing You' that has the 'love bump'. Im sure there have been arguements on these riddims, but not from me....take care :-)

[MisterTrimble]

@clanccy There's no difference between this and the Love Bump rhythm. Back in 1979, it was just a simple case of removing Slim Smith's vocals from the original master of "Rougher Yet" and letting Lone Ranger do his DJ thing on the instrumental.

[2steppa]

The original. Nuff recuts/re-versions of this riddim over the years I don't know how many versions of this I must have in my collection..! I also love 'Happy Times' by Slim Smith.

[sevensclash]

muy buena!!

[kukol]

Sooo nice!

[clanccy]

oooooh can you feel it :-)

[ZIONHIGHER]

C' DO you have Lone Ranger LOVE Bump,and cut to this ?

[clanccy]

yes I do will sort it out for you my friend

[clanccy]

what do you think about the 'rougher yet riddim' and the 'love bump riddim' your the expert???

[ZIONHIGHER]

Classic Tune 'C'.

[clanccy]

Thanks Zion! :-)

[ZIONHIGHER]

[terawattz]

slim smith has the perfect voice for these tunes.

[clanccy]

[sevensclash]

buen tema ,clanccy!!

[1jaq]

look here chilren, it's gonna get rough,

Look here chilren, its gonna get tough

can you feel it even on the streets sometime

can't you see it right before your very eyes

all day long it comes your way,

It's gonna be rough oh yeah

It's gonna be tough oh yeah

Get on up! Real foundation theme song for real! But give thanks to the almighty that we see another day to get through the struggle

Bigggg tune!
