I remember dancing to a few of these tracks back in the day from the obscure Mighty Pope. Earle Heedram was born in 1945 in Jamaica, and grew up with traditional reggae and ska influences, but also sang in the church choir and occasionally took part in talent shows on the island. He took those vibes with him when he moved to Toronto 20 years later with aspirations of becoming an accountant. He quickly melted into the ever expanding urban music scene though, and as the decade wore on, due in part to relaxed immigration laws, an influx of Jamaican immigrants led to a multitude of music clubs to play in the Toronto area.He recorded 2 studio albums as a solo artists and one with Frank Motleys Hitch hikers.The album aimed at the dancefloor enthusiasts!
