East Bay area native Darondo released some great soul music in the 1970's, compiled on the magnificent release on Ubiquity Records, Let My People Go, as well as last year's release Listen To My Songs: The Music City Sessions, which compiled some new unreleased tracks that Darondo recorded in the 70's. The most obvious "hit" would be the track "Didn't I", which is featured on both albums (and the track was also featured in an episode of "Breaking Bad")
The most obvious comparison of Darondo's style would be Al Green. He definitely has a similar style, although a bit more raw and street-wise, of that makes sense.
Yeah, I like Junior Murvin-have the "Police and Thieves" album. They do have similar styles vocally, with the falsettos, I've never noticed that before--good ear!
cool! kinda reminds me of Junior Murvin. Breaking Bad has some good tunes.
