Janet Kay – “You Bring the Sun Out” b/w Instrumental (TT3) (1981)

Ultra smoove Lovers Rock Randy Crawford cover from British reggae icon Kay, produced and arranged by top flight keyboardist, Jackie Mittoo. I could do with it being a bit more rootsy sounding, but in 1981 that wasn’t the point and anyways there’s still bassweight aplenty. In fact, this is pretty good stuff, Kay is an excellent singer and the aficiando-pleasing dubwise extended A-side knocks socks and other footwear off the straightforward instrument on the flip. A Cats’ Protection heist from yesterday afternoon.When you’re a JA studio legend, you too may have your own logo.
