Cheryl Lynn’s Got To Be Real is one of my all-time funky disco classics. I’ve got the LP, the 45, and the 12inch in my collection – so of course I’ve also been hunting down cover versions.

I already shared the Brazilian take by Fernanda Abreu – now here comes the Jamaican answer: a reggae version by Chevelle Franklin.

Still mostly under the radar, but what a killer: smooth, groovy, laid-back – the perfect soundtrack for a sunset on the beach in Montego Bay.
