Recently discovered Cornell Campbell through the stunning track on the Rhythm and Sound album and, finding he's been going since the beginning of time, I felt the need to start a thread on him. In old-school ILM parlance, search and destroy...

you have to get Ropin' from 1980 and his debut from 1973, some real gems, for instance:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xYXa5vQMFc

Thanks, people.
That Gorgon track sounds really familiar from a Horace Andy song called Better Collie. (I know these rhythm tracks have quiet a long and tortuous lineage sometimes.)
I wonder why this fellow isn't more famous.

Cornel Campbell is actually pretty well known amongst roots reggae fans, but he definitely never had a big international audience/hit.

One of my favoritesAlso S: The Minstrel, Natty Dread Anthology, Original Blue Recordings. My Confession prob worth it just for the updated version of "Stars".
