The Meditations

from The Cut Live Podcast · host Ted Reed Productions for thecutlive

Talking with Ansel Crindland, surviving founder of The Temptations. He told me about growing up without a father in Westmoreland, Jamaica, starting as a solo singer and then forming his first group. That paved the way to becoming the leader of The Meditations who were in demand for their distinctive 3-part harmonies, which in turn caught the ear of Bob Marley. We also talked about his song writing and what inspired him along the way of his 50+ year career. MUSIC: There Must Be a First Time Stranger in Love Blackman Redemption Stand in Love Nah Always Find a Way
