Love Is All I Bring showcases the very talented female performers of Trojan Records, who in the world of reggae can often be overlooked. Featuring vocals from the likes of Millie Small, Althea & Donna, Marcia Griffith, Phyllis Dillion, and Susan Cadogan plus productions by Sonia Pottinger this all female record with personal album notes from musician Rhoda Dakar truly packs a punch
