Rudy Mills - Reggae Hits - Pama

Rudy a singer firmly in the Derrick Harriott camp was ready made for the reggae era.

His light voice - had a tone that was very similar to Dandy. 

His big hit for Derrick came with ‘John Jones’ as is proudly highlighted on the front cover. Its got the style of that era- a song built around a simple statement. “John Jones, you son of a gun’

The rest of the album sticks with love songs, but they are not the usual ones.. Titles like ‘Place Called Happiness’, ‘Wholesale Love’ and ‘Hang Your Heart To Dry’ show that some real thinking about the choice of material as gone on here.

Another popular songs from Rudy - that as got more than a leaning to Rock Steady is ‘Long Story’ 

Once again there is a very strong story element in the song which works very well.

Derrick Harriott rhythms on the album are all very strong, horns, guitars, and organs are all used as lead instrument, providing some very memorable melodies for a fantastic set.
