Mastered from the original tapes, \u003cem\u003eTo Love Somebody\u003c\/em\u003e was originally released on the short-lived Klik label in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProviding the springboard to the career of one of the finest vocal talents to make their mark on the Jamaican music scene in the 70s, \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Alexander Anthony Clark\u003c\/strong\u003e AKA \u003cstrong\u003eBunny Scott\u003c\/strong\u003e spent the first half of the decade in New York before returning to Jamaica. His singing prowess soon garnered the attention of Perry, who was perfecting his distinctive sound at Black Ark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScott’s initial works for Perry were a couple of roots-themed singles on which he partnered \u003cstrong\u003eErrol Kong\u003c\/strong\u003e AKA \u003cstrong\u003eRicky Grant\u003c\/strong\u003e, but it soon became apparent that his sweet tenor was best suited to soulful romantic songs. This prompted the producer to have him record a series of numbers that comprised the singer’s debut album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the collection receiving excellent reviews, Scott returned to New York and quickly assumed the role of lead singer for the soon-to-be internationally successful Third World, which he led up until his untimely death in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow, at last, his debut album finally receives the deluxe treatment it deserves. Unlike previous re-issues, the collection is mastered from the original tapes, with the original tracklisting now bolstered by the remainder of the singer’s works for Perry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doctor Bird","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50508295733579,"sku":"1162678","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/76959021-8f27-4495-8239-5904adcba11a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727857650","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/to-love-somebody-expanded","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
