In 1968, Reggae’s beloved song writer Bob Andy wrote and recorded the song “Let Them Say.” Singing about the hardships faced, Bob offered a hopeful stance about overcoming the plight of poverty.
Bitty McLeans recent cover of the classic has renewed a fond attention for the song. The artists 2022 re-take has fans of all ages singing 54-year-old lyrics, and smoothly bringing them into the future. The track is the first single from the forthcoming album, We Remember Bob Andy, a tribute featuring 15 artists covering the late Jamaican singer/songwriter’s catalog, to be released during Reggae Month – February 2023.
Fast fact: “Let Them Say” is side ‘A’ on the original 45 pressing, and a second classic, originally written and recorded by Bob Andy ”Too Experienced” was on side ‘B.’
