Radiation Roots present a reissue of
Cornell Campbell
's
Ropin'
, originally released in 1980. One of the sweetest and most idiosyncratic voices in reggae, tenor singer Cornell Campbell, also has one of the longest-running careers of any Jamaican recording artist. Taken under Studio One founder
Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd
's wing at a very young age, Cornell cut his first recordings in 1956, long before ska was even established. He remained based at Studio One for many years, working as a label printer as well as a recording artist, and also voiced sides for
King Edwards
in the ska years. He then briefly joined the
Sensations
in rock steady and recorded at Treasure Isle, before moving back to Studio One as leader of the
Eternals
when reggae arrived, cutting huge hits there such as "Stars" and "Queen Of The Mistrel", and giving early coaching to
Slim Smith
,
Jacob Miller
, and bassist
Robbie Shakespeare
. Joining forces with ace producer
Bunny "Striker" Lee
in the mid-1970s brought a dramatic new surge in popularity that greatly boosted his profile overseas. The
Ropin'
LP was issued on Third World's Justice subsidiary in 1980 -- a sub label set up to handle Striker's product in the UK (though hits like "Mash You Down" and the title track had been handled in Jamaica by
Joe Gibbs
). One of the album's outstanding moments is "Bandulu", an anti-rude boy epic voiced on the "Late Night Blues" rhythm, while opening cover, "Just My Imagination", has an uncredited toasting portion from
Errol Scorcher
.
