Album Spotlight Michael Prophet’s Gunman

The dream team of Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes & The Roots Radics at Channel One studios once again, this time with the unique vocal stylings of the late Michael Prophet. The title track ‘Gunman’ is a certified anthem with its soaring horns, squaky guitar licks, Scientist’s imaginative mix and Michael’s ‘crying’ vocal – it’s a potent mix for sure and one that epitomised the early Dancehall era. It’s a true testament to Michael Prophet as an artist that he was able to ride the rhythms in such a way that made them feel ‘full’ and ‘empty’ and atmospheric at the same time, he had a truly unique voice and this album captured a very special time for the singer.
