I listen to Eddie every day. I drive Uber a few days a week and always play his music for my passengers and they often ask who he is so they can listen to him later. It makes me happy to help keep his music alive and to share it with many others.

I’ve heard songs from Eddie Lovett specifically love his stuck on you version, little did I know he was an American, thanks for highlighting this, I’m learning a lot about reggae artists from your channel, I can confidently mention at least 10 songs from every reggae artist out there but I’ve found out I hardly know about them, thanks me brethren for your works, Jah bless

Thank you very much for this great short document about Eddie Lovette. I first heard his music on our local DC station, WPFW hosted by Mr. Von Martin in the early 90s and I just totally went insane and started collecting his music. I have every single one of his LPs and still play them on some weekends! I truly believe he was underrated for the quality of music he made. As you said, most of his music was covers, but he made it uniquely his own and in my humble opinion, at times, better than the original versions. You'll be surprised how popular he still is in Hawaii and its local islands, Canada, and the EU countries. Some US audiences in my opinion are extremely slow to embrace Reggae music and that could be why his popularity never took off as it should have. Had his music been played on mainstream radio back then, most of his songs would have chatted (as he did with "Too Experience" years earlier). Rest in Peace, Mr. Lovette, your beautiful music carries on eternally!

Yep, I have a record of his that I bought while visiting Miami, Fla. I figured he was a lost gem because I had never ever heard anyone mention him before. The record isn't worth anything (Rockers for Lovers), but maybe this video highlighting him might give him the credit he deserves. Mentioning Johnny Nash, back in the early 90s I attended the 1st annual Haile Selassie reggae festival at Nash's ranch in Houston Texas. Sadly, I had to leave before it really got started because my parents wanted their car back before dark, even though it was supposed to be an all-day event, music didn't start until that night. It's crazy because I cannot find anywhere online that the event actually happened, but I was there so I would know. Half Pint, Worl-a-Girl, Buju Banton (I think), among many others, played that show. I sure wish I still had the poster to prove it.

I think the fact that that record is so common and cheap is a big reason why Eddie Lovette is so neglected by reggae fans today. For better or worse, a lot of reggae heads love a 'rare' record and scoff at anything they can find in dollar bins. Junior Soul gets the same kind of neglect for the same reason.

IAM alass to Learn that Eddie Lovette was an Américan,even though i know that some of thé most talented sincères in reggae migrated to Jamaican from other Carribean islands: you mentionned Ken Lazarus, Lord Tanamo ,guitariste Llyn Taitt, Lord Laro,Otis Gayle ,with his beautiful version of thé spinners I'il bé around. But little did i know hé was an Américan. I'm almost certain i ready Somewhere hé was from Trinidad! But anyway hé Is one of thé most exquisite crooners in reggae

In other words Lovette broke the reggae drought in America as far as local talents are concerned . I'm really at a want to see any other local breed that deeply impresses and begging to be amazed, besides that fabulous singer Barbara Paige. Please check out her fantastic 1981 album....Jah Malla was another notable US reggae act, although none of them were indigenous to that country, migrating to New York in the 70s..

@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety Bro, I guarantee you'll be impressed. Stylistically, she's a cross between Rita Marley and Judy Mowatt in my opinion. Hardly had a full-length bio on her. First listened to her in the pre- RU-vid and Internet era of the late 80s. Not until recently as 3 years ago did I listen fully to her one and only album. (Sorry i cant remember its title). Check out your UC Browser you mind get something...About the songs? Check out Babylon must Fall, and Resist (a duet with late Third World Great Bunny Rugs of Third World) and backed by the Wailers in the entire set, i think. Though can't guarantee that.

I remember Eddie Lovette but never pegged him to be American. The only Americans I know recorded Jamaican reggae was Puma Jones, before her Jerry Jones and Joya Landis.
