Red Rose Blooms in dancehall digital era

SINGER Anthony Red Rose was new on the music scene in 1984 when Wayne Smith hit with the game-changing hit, Under mi Sleng Teng.

Produced by Lloyd ‘King Jammys’ James, it was done on the computerised Sleng Teng beat which launched dancehall’s digital era.

Smith died Monday at the Kingston Public Hospital at age 48.

Red Rose had a hit on the Sleng Teng with the risqué Under mi Fat Thing. He followed up with Tempo, both produced by legendary engineer/dub master Osbourne ‘King Tubby’s’ Ruddock.

The dreadlocked Red Rose still records. His latest songs are Fire and Ice with Assassin; Your Girl a Your Girl (with Bugle) and the solo The Hardest.

Here are his top 10 digital dancehall songs:

Under Mi Sleng Teng — Wayne Smith

Clarks Booty — Little John

Title — Pad Anthony

Tempo — Anthony Red Rose

Lots of Sign — Tenor Saw

Run Down The World — Nitty Gritty

AIDS a go Roun — King Kong

Two-Year-Old — Admiral Bailey

Under Mi Fat Thing — Anthony Red Rose

Tell Lie Pon Mi — Major Worries
