Alton Ellis - Be True to Yourself. Anthology (1965-1973).

Oriundo de Trench Town, Jamaica (sí, cómo Marley), The Godfather of Rocksteady, Alton Ellis se erige como una verdadera leyenda de la música contemporánea, del R&B al Ska y por supuesto el Rocksteady. Trojan Records es quien recopila esta antología que ilustra a cabalidad la figura de Ellis como interprete y la histórica delicia de su obra que continúa tomando por asalto cada soundsystem hasta nuestros días.
