John Holt’s Take on An Isley Brothers Classic

John Holt is about as big a name as you can get in reggae without being Robert Nesta.  As lead singer of the Paragons (and still a pretty young dude) he penned and sang a number of massive hits including Tide is High later covered by Blondie.  When Holt struck out on his own he was even more successful both with original compositions and a series of cover songs including today’s 45.

The song “For The Love of You” should be more than familiar with your ear/brain combo as one of the many scorching ballads the Isley Brothers dropped on us in the 70’s and Holt handles it masterfully as he did with all his lover’s rock ballads.

Hope you enjoy today’s record, it’s a favorite.
