Forgotten Treasure: Don Carlos “I’m not crazy” (1984)

It’s a snowy sunday morning in Montreal. You know, that Walt Disney type of snow. It might be just me but for some reason I like to listen to reggae in those type of moments, like to convince myself that the worst of winter is behind us and that next thing you know i’ll opening my windows again…

But enough about me, this is a really great “lovers rock” reggae track that you need to know about. It was a minor highlight of the early pre-digital dancehall (1984) era by Don Carlos who, outside of this track, I didn’t know about. In the grand tradition of other “lovers rock” pioneers like Ken Boothe, John Holt and more contemporary singers like Gregory Isaacs. Dope!
