Along with figures like John Holt, Cornell Campbell, and Ken Boothe, Alton Ellis was one of the premier vocal stylists of the rocksteady era. With his effortlessly supple croon, he completely transformed American soul standards into distinctly Jamaican creations, often so altering the rhythm and pacing of a tune as to make it unrecognizable. The two-disc set LEGEND compiles 30 tracks from the earliest stages of Ellis's career. "Cry Tuff," "Girl I've Got a Date," and "I'm Just A Guy" are reggae standards that have been subject to many memorable reinterpretations by Jamaican artists over the years, while Ellis's covers of American soul tunes like Tyrone Davis's "Can I Change My Mind" and the Delfonics' "La La Means I Love You" must be heard to be believed.
