D Major scores with For Tonight

D Major scores with For Tonight

LAST year, American rhythm and blues singer Giveon scored a minor hit with For Tonight. The song was produced by Sevn Thomas, a Toronto-born producer whose parents are from Jamaica. His uncle is popular 1980s deejay Rappa Robert from the duo Tippa Lee and Rappa Robert.

Singer D Major’s reggae spin on For Tonight has resulted in his first charted single on the Foundation Radio Network (New York) Reggae Chart. It entered at number 28 last weekend.

His version is produced by Donovan Germain for Penthouse Records, who has produced countless hit singles including Just Don’t Wanna Be Lonely, a top 10 British smash for Freddie McGregor in 1987; and One Dance Won’t Do by Audrey Hall which peaked at number 20 on the British chart in 1986.

D Major (real name Damion Codlin) was once lead singer of Q-T (Quality and Togetherness). His hits include a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me, Real Know Real, and Party Like It’s Your Birthday.

Still on the Foundation Radio Network (New York) Chart, Richie Stephens spends a fourth week on top with Reverse The Curse.

Don’t Do It by Hopeton Lindo, Marcia Griffiths and Freddie McGregor moves from number 10 to eight, while Nothing Can Justify by Khalia hops from 13 to 11.

Other new entries are Glory to His Name by Turbulence (number 29) and Love About You by Papa San (number 30).

On the South Florida Reggae Chart, Don’t Let Her Take by Empress Uneek is new at number 22 while Close to You by Marica J Ball debuts at 23.

I Need You by Audley Rollen is number one for a third week while Reverse The Curse moves from four to two.

Also making moves are Save The Children by Hezron (from number 12 to 10) and When You Love by Lukie D (from 22 to 20).

Moving to the streaming- and sales-driven Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, Bob Marley and The Wailers continues to rule, clocking their 138th week at number one with Legend.

Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy is number two while Sean Paul’s Dutty Classics Collection moves up three places to number three.

World on Fire by Stick Figure dips one place to four, Greatest Hits by UB40 slips from four to five, and Stick Figure appears at number six with Set in Stone.

Anthology by Musical Youth holds firm at number seven where it debuted weeks ago, while Gifted by Koffee edges up from nine to eight.

Gold by Bob Marley and The Wailers re-enters the chart at number nine, with Iration holding steady at 10 with Time Bomb.

On Billboard’s US Afrobeat Songs Chart, Toni-Ann Singh by Burna Boy featuring Popcaan tumbles from 20 to 28, and Tems’ cover of Marley’s No Woman No Cry crashes from 29 to 41.
