about

Tribute album to the lead vocal, Bunny Brown (Past away in March, 2019)
This is the second album of Chosen Few, the most soulful & funky vocal group in Jamaican history.
This album was produced by Tony Robinson and released from TR Groove Master in Jamaica, while from Trojan as “Everybody Plays The Fool” in UK.
It is no doubt this is the absolute masterpiece of “Island Soul” though it was not able to be the center of attention because of the rasta and roots rock movement led by Bob Marley at that time.
The variety of soul covers are included in this album, like Betty Wright’s “I Love The Way You Love” as the title track, “Reggae Stuff” is a cover of Kool & The Gang’s “Funky Stuff”, “My Thing” known as a big hit by The Moment & Sylvia, the soul classic “Tears Of A Clown” by Smokey Robinson (English Beat also covered as 2 tone version) and so on!! And we add “Children Of The night” as a bonus track which was released as 45 only.

2019年3月に亡くなったリード・ボーカル、バニー・ブラウンのトリビュートアルバム。
ジャマイカで最もソウル、ファンキーを意識したグループの2枚目のアルバム。75年にジャマイカではトニー・ロビンソンのプロデュースで TR グルーブマスター、英国ではトロージャンから”Every Body Plays The Fool”のタイトルでリリースされた。素晴らしい内容であったが、ボブ・マーリー等の人気からラスタムーブメントが盛り上がり、ルーツロック大流行の陰に隠れてしまったアイランドソウル決定盤。
タイトル曲ベティ・ライト「 I Love The Way You Love」はじめクール & ザ・ギャング「 Funky Stuff」を「Reggae Stuff」(シングルはガンジャファンク「 Collie Stuff」として)、モーメンツやシルヴィアのヒットで知られるスィートソウル「My Thing」、スモーキー・ロビンソン、2トーンのイングリシュ・ビートのヒット「 Tears Of Clown」他、シングルのみのリリースであった「 Children Of The Night」をボーナストラックとして収録。
