Teach the Youth

by Barrington Levy

Overview

Establishing a solo career during his teens with a run of hit singles for producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes, Barrington Levy evolved during the early-'80s into one of the most popular artists of the pre-digital dancehall era. His distinctive falsetto vocals and patois-inflected phrasing made him one of the most in-demand vocalists of the time. Joe Gibbs was among the first to enlist the youngster's prodigious talents, cutting a spate of riddims for the Treasure Isle and Studio One labels. TEACH THE YOUTH compiles rarities recorded between 1980 and 1985, showcasing some of the singer's lesser known but equally memorable sides.
