10/27/2005 - Walk Away From Love

Song: Walk Away From Love
Artist: Bitty McLean
Why this song is the current jam: I found this song while randomly browsing around on the iTunes music store. It is a beautiful reggae remake of the David Ruffin (oft lead singer of the Temptations) hit from back in the day. I think it has a touching sentiment and he has a sweet and emotional delivery especially on the high notes in the chorus. Also, the beat is a classic. It is lifted from Alton Ellis's big hit "Rocksteady" one of the first Rocksteady songs ever and the song that gave the style its name. (the title of the song was intially the name of the dance that Ellis sang about) Alton Ellis was reggae man #1 in many people's eyes until Bob came along. Check him out too. For me this version is even better than the Ruffin original, hope you likey.
