Toronto has long been the beneficiary of a pipeline that brought top-notch musicians from Kingston to Canada. This handsome compilation, the first in a series, digs up the best soul, funk and reggae recorded in the T-Dot from 1967-74. Standout numbers include Jackie Mittoo’s funky keyboard nugget “Grand Funk,” Noel Ellis’ sweet reggae “Memories” and the Mighty Pope’s soulful workout “Mr. Fortune.” But tracks by Lloyd Delpratt, The Cougars and Jo-Jo & the Fugitives are equally crucial, rediscovered gems.
