It's near impossible to measure how dramatic an impact someone like Clement "Coxsone" Dodd has had on the Jamaican music industry. Countless words have been both spoken and written about that impact but words can only do so much.

We’re at the weekend again now ain’t we? This tune seems quite a good start to get it kicked off. Jeff Penner, one of our good friends and a collector with no shortage of killer tunes at his disposal, introduced us to this one. Bit odd in that it’s a Coxsone Dodd production but released on the Trojan subsidiary, Blue Cat. Nonetheless, have a great one from For The Suits.

"People Get Ready" by The Minstrels

An absolutely beautiful cut of rocksteady. Lucky enough to own a copy, though not on 45 (one sold for $2600 a few months ago), but instead on a great Studio One compilation LP titled Studio One Classics (it’s an appropriate title, let me assure you). Curtis Mayfield’s undeniable influence on Jamaican music and rocksteady in particular is showcased with this gem.
