"sweet soul rocking" is probably the song i dip back into most of those, just irresistible

Elizabeth Archer is all time. The dub is insane. i had always thought it was a Dennis Bovell mix but turns out it isn't.
This is a current big favourite. A cover of the Rose Royce classic that perfectly suits being adapted to a Reggae track.
