Colored-Inc. presents Carlton Livingston


Colored-Inc. presents Carlton Livingston

label: Paris DJs, Colored-Inc.
released: 2011-01-05
style: reggae dub mix

Carlton Livingston is one of the great, sort of lost singers of the early eighties dancehall scene. He's just released a new album, Bridge of Life and it's a killer. Under the production of Grant Phabao, Carlton's smooth style and voice made this album full of both dancehall mashers and lovers tunes. The sound is a cross between Groundation and more traditional 70's reggae from the island. Here's a selection of some of his earlier hits mixed with a few tracks from this new album.
Selected and mixed by Grant Phabao!
