Roots Reggae (1979) [Unreleased Album] Rootrick Levi I - One life, One love

Details

Description

One Life, One Love is a soulful journey through the ups and downs of life, told through the heartbeat of vintage Jamaican roots reggae. Recorded live with analog equipment and minimal overdubs, it captures the raw, unfiltered energy of Rootrick Levi I and his band, The Heartbeat Crew.

From motivational anthems to feel-good grooves, each track blends fat basslines, syncopated guitar chops, warm organ stabs, and raspy lead vocals drenched in patwa slang and heartfelt emotion. Backed by the sweet harmonies of The Zion Sisters, the album delivers a sound that is both nostalgic and timeless.

📜 Brief History
Born in the late 1940s in the rural hills of St. Ann, Jamaica, Rootrick Levi I grew up surrounded by the rich rhythms of revival chants, mento folk songs, and the gospel harmonies of the local church. His early life was rooted in farming and community gatherings, but his heart belonged to music. As a youth, he was drawn to Kingston in the early 1960s, where he soaked up the sounds of ska and rocksteady before finding his true calling in the emerging roots reggae movement of the early 1970s.

Rootrick’s deep, gravelly voice carried the weight of experience and the conviction of Rastafari teachings. His lyrics spoke of love, unity, liberation, and spiritual livity, often delivered with a mix of English and rich Jamaican patwa. He became known for energetic live shows, where his commanding presence and connection with the audience earned him the nickname “The Voice of the Hills.”

Even decades later, Rootrick Levi I continues to be celebrated as one of reggae’s most authentic voices — a singer whose music carries the same passion, spirituality, and groove that ignited the golden age of Jamaican roots reggae.
