When Junior English re-did this beautiful Curtis Mayfield ballad, he really gave our1970s reggae loving teenage generation a refreshing view of just how deeply spiritual a reggae romance could be. Talk about falling in love with someone whilse dancing. How could we not, when a ballad was so sublime and moving!! In the way Junior expressed these lyrics, he was a real artist adding just the right brush stroke to impart the delicacy of emotions.
R.I.E.P My dearest friend. I have no words but, "A Gentleman and a Master of his Craft. Condolences to the entire Family, Friends, and the Music family. Thank you Junior for your contribution as a Music Legend. I also thank you as friend who supported me and my family when we loss my Mum & Sister. You will be missed and thought of with much love always. Your Music lives on!!! Lou & Family. X
An absolutely fantastic tune from a super lovers artist, those cold, dark, English winter nights. Condensation ran down frosted windows competing with the warmth of young hearts; black folk getting down in the midst of dimly lit safe rooms, with only a kitchen light representing the bar to illuminate the busy hallway for the posers and stylers. I am young enough to still feel the loving vibe and atmosphere that lingers but old enough to shed a tear, at the many lost souls. I love my people.
An Artist of great talent just like so many of them from the 70's and 80's. I feel privileged to have lived in an era where music was harmonious and touched the soul. I tingle now as I did then when I hear these old tunes......
This was without question one of my favourite tracks of the 70s. An absolute masterpiece by a true star. Rest In Eternal Peace king, you truly earned it🙏👊❤
I played with junior I was the original sax man on this track played with zabandis great group. I liked this sax riff on this track in memory of my mum❤live up😊

I love this song. Pure, smooth voice from back in the day. This reminds me of my childhood. I loved Lovers Rock so much as well as Studio One. Thank you my late father. A true Gent !
Does anyone know the Curtis Mayfield original of this song? its called 'Love to Keep You in my Mind'. You can tell that many Jamaican artists from that era were big Curtis Mayfield fans. Junior English, Junior Murvin (Police & Thieves) & many others adapted Curtis's falsetto into their own singing style. 60's & 70's soul & R'n'B were hugely influential on early Reggae music
Good observation. Agreed. It was that US R&B that gave reggae that "other" passion: love. He did Curtis proud on this one. Prettier than all...the world 😉
Not just his falsetto but a great deal of his music. Most famous of all is Bob’s One Love. If you’ve notice sometimes it is labeled One Love (People Get Ready). PGR is the name of Curtis’
I have so many great memories …. Takes me way back to my first love ….. 😢hes so no longer with us but I remember those deep glaze into my eyes whilst we danced . ❤❤
Sad to hear de passing of such ah talented musician, true icon foundation Man from way back when love raving to his music give tanks fi di memories 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯❤️
