From Jamaica To Toronto

Jackie Mittoo. Wayne McGhie and the Sounds Of Joy. Bob and Wisdom. The Mighty Pope. And many others. A free concert back in July and a series of reissues have begun to tell the story of the Toronto reggae, funk and soul scene of the 1950's, '60's and '70's.

Self link: I also have a couple of links to a great out-of-print (for the time being, at least) Mitto album named The Money Makers on my Canadian music blog.

I've been trying to find that Wayne McGhie for years.

Thanks!

Oops...the "couple" link up there should send you here.

C_B, that McGhie album (which is excellent) is also available from Light In The Attic.
