Delroy Wilson - The Last Thing On My Mind

Written by Tom Paxton sung by Delroy Wilson. If you want to find it on vinyl it's on Delroy's album "Sarge". It was also released as a 7" single but that's a little more difficult to find.

Good music never dies. It’s 2023 and I’m still rocking to Delroy Wilson’s music. Sleep on in eternal peace brother. 🇯🇲🙏🏾

How in the world did we ever go from Delroy's gorgeous virtuosity to the talentless coarseness of Vybz Kartel and Lady Saw????

I could never understand how a country with the best musician and singers in the 70s 80s and 90s gone to present crap they play now

You could not have said it better ! 100% agree 👍

[@stantonio4614]

How u comparing two different genre of music?

[@jamtalawah2231]

I thought I was the only one who felt like this. Never had the courage to express my views before. But sorry can't call what has been happening in recent years music - don't care what the genre is, most of is not pleasing to listen to. Apart from a few, reggae is in crisis right now.

[@jamtalawah2231]

@@stantonio4614 No comparison necessary we once had the cream now we have dross calling itself music. Genre makes no difference the stuff coming out today has taken us backwards. The reliance on computer generated music is killing the skill Reggae had with our gifted players of instruments.

This is simply one of the greatest things ever recorded. It strikes me as the kind of thing that if you played it for a Jamaican who had emigrated abroad in the '70s, he or she would break down in tears. Hats off to Bob Andy for the idea and Sylvan Morris for the recording. Genius.

Remember buying Sarge at the time of its release in the summer of 1977, and particularly loving this track. Brings back some fond memories. You don't even have to hear Tom Paxton's original to know Delroy's mournfully emotive vocal and stellar Lloyd Chalmers production far surpasses it. Great post!
