Johnny Osbourne - Hard Work '2020

Tracks list

Over a decades-long career, Johnny Osbourne moved from soulful reggae to a
massive dancehall catalog. His warm voice filled with conviction and yearning,
hes one of the islands best, especially on standards like Ice Cream Love, Water
Pumping, and countless rub-a-dub singles.

Osbourne debuted in 1969 as lead vocalist of the Wildcats, recording a session
at Coxsone Dodds Studio One that spawned his debut single, All I Have Is Love.
After recording 1969s Come Back Darling (as leader of the vocal group aptly
named the Sensations), he emigrated to Toronto, where he became lead vocalist
for a group called Ishan People, and recorded two albums with them before
returning to Jamaica in 1979. Shortly after returning, he recorded Forgive Them
and Jealousy, Heartache and Pain as well as the stunning album, Truths and
Rights. Between 1980 and 1982, a glut of material was released, including Fally
Lover, Warrior, Innah Disco Style, and Never Stop Fighting. He scored a string
of hits through the 80s, including Water Pumping, Good Time Rock, and Rude Boy
Skank, the latter pair from the Bobby Digital production Rougher Than Them
(1989).
