With the rise of the DJs in the 1970s, Studio One found
itself in the unenviable position of seeing its back catalog
thoroughly plundered for rhythms. And while the label had
dug into their archives on numerous occasions as well, the
rise of a new generation of producers had seen its position
in the market seriously slip. Clement "Coxsone" Dodd hit
back first by remixing old cuts in a more contemporary
style, and then took the next logical step of having artists
write new lyrics to these reinvigorated classics. Sugar
Minott led the way with his 1978 debut album Live Living;
Johnny Osbourne's Truth and Rights followed hot on its heels
the next year. Osbourne had launched his career a decade
earlier, but his earlier success had been negated by his
relocation to Canada, and thus Studio One announced his
return with a handful of singles before unleashing this
album. On an island awash in vocal talent, Osbourne's voice
was not exceptional ù a strong, clear tenor; his delivery,
however, was rich with nuanced emotions. But the same could
be said of dozens of others; Osbourne's real strength lay in
his lyrics. Much of Truth and Rights is culturally themed,
but the singer also had a keen ear for the street, and a
dancehall number like "Sing Jah Stylee," a huge hit, is a
superb little vignette of life that unfolds right before
one's eyes. Equally strong is "We Need Love," where he
vividly conjures up the days of his youth before
transforming the piece into a potent unity number. The title
track relays his own powerful personal manifesto, one that
is further expanded on "Children Are Crying," a militant
call to consciousness. And whether the singer was declaring
his devotion to a lady, as on the acerbic "Can't but Love,"
or the Lord, as on the smash "Jah Promise," Osbourne's
convictions ring true. With his masterful pen and emotive
delivery and backed by adeptly updated island favorites,
Truth and Rights reignited the singer's career. The album
was extraordinary in its time and has since earned the
deserved reputation of a masterpiece. ù Jo-Ann Greene
