In the 1970s, while Jamaica promoted it's own roots reggae styles around the world, powerhouse USA soul labels such as Motown, Philadelphia International and Stax Records were at the same time all popular on the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis interaction between American and Jamaican music was not limited to Jamaica. In Britain, first-generation Caribbean-̩migr̩ children in the 1960s and early 70s grew up with an equal love of both soul and reggae, which manifested itself in the home-grown arrival of lovers rock in the mid-1970s. \/\/ Soul Jazz Records' new 'Reggae Island Soul' tells this story of how soul and funk-infused reggae in the 1970s united the sounds of Jamaica, USA and the UK into a highly addictive cultural hybrid of style\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eRebel Island Soul РUnder The Influence: Reggae, Funk \u0026amp; Soul In Jamaica In The 1970S showcases the vibrant sounds of reggae and soul from Jamaica's golden era.
