LOVERS ROCK CD’s

Lovers rock is a style of reggae music noted for its romantic sound and content. While love songs had been an important part of reggae since the late 1960s, the style was given a greater focus and a name in London in the mid 1970s.  It combined the smooth soul sounds of Chicago and Philadelphia soul with reggae basslines and rhythms.  Rooted in the Sound systems of South London, the style had particular appeal amongst women and produced many female stars including Carroll Thompson & Louisa Mark, who aged 14 was the first British artist to have a lovers rock hit with her version of Bobby Parkers “Caught You in a Lie” in 1975..  One of Lovers Rocks biggest hits was Janet Kay’s “Silly Games”, which reached No 2 in the UK Singles Chart in 1979..
