A forgotten nineties dancehall gospel classic tonight

Track:
Kevin Jackson aka Sanchez was one of the biggest stars in reggae/dancehall music in the nineties. While he is still performing live, and was touring with Lukie D, Thriller U, Tony Curtis (!) and Singing Melody a couple of years back, he's been very quiet of late.
At his peak, his records with Bobby "Digital" Dixon and Philip "Fatis" Burrell were amongst the best being recorded in Jamaica. This was one of his best ever, and is an Xterminator production from about 1995. Saxophony is by the legendary Dean Fraser.

The rhythm was also memorably cut by Luciano, Louie Culture and Terror Fabulous, also on Xterminator; this is "In This Together", which I seem to recall is largely based on an old O'Jays tune (although don't hold me to that).
This has a beautiful melody. I like this alot. How could anyone not?
smoooov sound. lovely, thanks as always Baudolino. i previously had no idea there were so many reggae tunes i hadn't heard yet. much respect for sharing!
Tasty....
Great vocal, great sax and drums mixed up way high. Good message in the lyrics too. What's not to like? As always, thanks for sharing.
Sanchez is qualilty. I was lucky enough to see him perform at Reggae On the River a couple of years ago and it was amazing. So many tunes!!!
Check the picture of the man, it was i the 90's that day and he was looking dapper as ever in the avacado green suit...
Many thanks for sharing.
