Johnny Osbourne / Otis Gayle: We Need Love / I'll Be Around Vinyl 12"
Two soulful Jamaican classics from Soul Jazz. Johnny Osbourne's "We Need Love" has long been a hailed for its saccharine fusion of rocksteady and ska. Originally released on his 1980 sophomore album Truth & Rights, the song pairs Osbourne's sweet vocals with a steadily grooving rhythm. And it pairs perfectly with Otis Gayle's soul reggae take on The Spinners' R&B classic "I'll Be Around." Peep the genius level organ work from Jackie Mittoo. The instrumental of this track forms the foundation for Osbourne's cut on the A side. Two slices of soulful reggae heaven coming right up.
