Lee “Scratch” Perry, who gave Earl George Lawrence the name George
Faith, was impressed with the singer’s early songs and worked with
him for over a decade. Faith’s early songs dealt more with romanticism
than political sense as opposed to other fellow contempary artists.
On his To Be A Lover album the greater part consists of soul and r&b
covers (suggested by Perry) like “Midnight Hour-Yaya” (Wilson Pickett),
“I’ve Got The Groove” (The O’Jays) in his typical reggae-crooner style.
However it is the odd-ball cover “Diana” (Paul Anka) which shows the
unique style of George Faith on his 1977 debut album. |
