Sharing The Night (Mix 2)

Following in the footsteps of Gregory Issacs, John Holt, Ken Boothe, Beres Hammond, Freddie McGregor, and Dennis Brown, Ambelique has now joined that selective group of artists from Jamaica who sing and perform deep soulful reggae the way it should be done.

There's an old saying 'nothing happens before its time'. It could have been coined especially for Ambelique, who despite his wealth of current hits and rocketing popularity among grassroots enthusiasts, waited patiently for his breakthrough into the reggae big time. Then again, Ambelique is no ordinary singer. His tones of expressions and vocal technique are simple outstanding, and the soul in his voice so moving at times, the listener is reminded of early R&B greats such as Sam Cooke.

Jamaican by birth, he was raised in the Waltham Park area of Kingston, the same neighbourhood that gave us Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, Sugar Minott and The Stewart Brothers (Tinga & Roman). It was ska and Rock steady Legend Derrick Harriot who took him to the Studio for the first time.

Ambelique was considered to be a late starter in the music business as it was generally supposed that his major breakthrough came in the mid-90s.
The music's commentators concentrated on the fact that he had been a bank clerk turned reggae singer without acknowledging his early involvement in the Jamaican music industry.

In reality Ambelique began his career in the late 60s with Derrick Harriott And The Crystalites, under the guise of Ramon The Mexican. He was the resident DJ on Harriott's Musical Chariot sound system and with the Crystalites recorded, "The Undertaker". The song featured Ambelique and Harriott performing a parody of the spaghetti western, A Fistful Of Dollars when they mimicked the dialogue between Clint Eastwood and the character of the undertaker.
