Morgan Heritage album to include cover for Jimmy Cliff’s Regga Night

Must read

As they prepare for their performance in Uganda, Morgan Heritage is also preparing its upcoming album, which has a cover of Jimmy Cliff’s Reggae Night, produced by DreZion who also makes a guest appearance on the track.

“We love to pay tribute to our legends and Jimmy Cliff is one of Jamaica’s unsung heroes. He has done many songs to heal the world, and this is one of those feel-good songs that makes your spirit happy and brings you to a happy place. It’s a great song. Bless up to Mr Cliff,” says Gramps Morgan, a group member of Morgan Heritage.

He was tight-lipped about the album, which is scheduled for release mid this year. It is the follow-up to 2015’s Grammy-winning Strictly Roots which sold over 4,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Music.

“The name of the new album is a secret for now. We are not giving away the name until a later date, but the keyword for now, just know that it will be magic,” he said.

Originally recorded in 1983, Reggae Night is from Cliff’s album The Power And The Glory, which was released by CBS/Columbia Records. Co-written by Amir Bayyan and LaToya Jackson, it has also been covered by Jackson for her 1991 album

Cliff’s version topped Jamaican charts and entered several European tables as well as Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. It peaked at number 89 on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart.

The royal family of reggae, Morgan Heritage is set to perform in Uganda for the first time in April.
