This is a compilation of songs of soul and reggae artists who were involved in a vibrant music scene in the 70's in Toronto.
I am not sure how many people have talked to me about the Toronto via West Indies musicians who called Canada home. A few late night cab drivers have mentioned it to me, including one incredibly informed driver, who I wish I would have gotten his name from.
I was in Scarbourough today and hit one of those industrial buildings that house all kinds of businesses to Henry's Records.
I found myself being very jealous of Henry, and the fact that he gets to listen to great records all day. You could tell he loves it. I am working on a story for The Hour about this. The compilation came out in 2006. They are also working on a documentary about it. Better late than never.
