Leroy Smart - The Don Tells It Like It Is… '2013

Tracks list

Reggae singer and producer Leroy Smart, the self-proclaimed Don, carries much
respect in the Jamaican musical community. He came through the Alpha Boys School
in Kingston that produced the cream of Jamaican artistic talent -- such legends
as Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, and Johnny Dizzy Moore, to name but a few. Leroy
Smart's talent lay in his vocal attacking style that gives his lyrics and tune
that extra meaning. His best work came in the heady mid '70s, working with "The
Hitmaker from Jamaica" Mr. Bunny Striker Lee. Bunny put Leroy Smart on some of
his best rhythms, starting in 1973 with "God Helps the Man" and "Wreck Up My
Life." Other killer hits were to follow such as "Mr. Smart," "Pride and
Ambition," "Bad Minded People" and "Mr. Richman." All tracks tell it like it is.
Kingston Sounds has compiled all these cuts together, every song a story in
itself, told only as Leroy Smart could.
