Veteran singer Tony Anthony is back with “Love Will Lead You Back”, a reggae cover of blue-eyed soul singer Taylor Dayne’s 1990 hit single.
Anthony’s version is produced by Tasjay Productions.
The prolific Anthony told Reggae Global Radio that he was eager to put his spin on the song when James Smith, head of that company, suggested he cover it.
“He told me that when his girlfriend walked out on him a few years ago, ‘Love Will Lead You Back’ was the song that helped him through those painful times,” Anthony explained.
The original was number one in the United States 32 years ago.
Known for songs like “There Goes my Baby” and “Today I’m Gonna Try And Change The World”, Anthony is a stalwart of the Canadian reggae scene.
Born in St. Catherine, Jamaica, he has lived in Toronto for almost 30 years.
Anthony has big plans for 2022 as an artist and producer. In the first quarter of this year, his Phylani Music label is scheduled to release the My Turn ‘riddim’ which will feature songs from Luciano, Ed Robinson, Treson and Rad Dixon.
