SummersRadio™ 420th Post Of 2011! Classic! Rita Marley!

SummersRadio™ 420th Post Of 2011! Classic! Rita Marley - 'One Draw' (Extended Version) So apparently I've been rather busy blogging this year - this is my 420th post of the year! So let's celebrate Vancouver style - with some Jamaican style music!

Rita Marley began her singing career at age 18 as a member of the trio called the Soulettes - who were produced by Bob Marley. The two married in 1966 and she later became a member of the I Threes - his backup singers.

'One Draw' was a single from her debut solo album called 'Who Feels It Knows It' - which was released in 1982 - a year after Bob died of brain cancer. The song was banned from some radio stations for it's lyrical content - which no doubt helped it to go on and become one of the biggest selling reggae singles of all time!

This is the 'Extended Version' of Rita Marley's classic 'One Draw' - from the 12" single released on Shanachie Records - one of the world's largest independent labels ... Enjoy!
