Owen Gray JahSon - The Greatest Love Of All

Review by Sulistiya Sunaryo

Reggae Rewind: Owen Gray & JahSon’s “The Greatest Love Of All” (1978) Alright, let’s get one thing straight—this ain’t Whitney Houston’s version of The Greatest Love Of All. Nope. This is a reggae gem from 1978 that’ll make your speakers feel like they’ve been transported to a smoky London sound system dance in the late ‘70s. Owen Gray and JahSon teamed up with producer Clem ‘Bushranger’ Bushay to drop this little slice of UK-reggae history under Trojan Records. And guess what? It still slaps harder than some overpriced avocado toast. First off, you gotta talk about the title track, The Greatest Love Of All. From the opening bars, it just grabs ya by the soul and says, “Listen up!” The groove is smooth as butter on a hot chapati, and Owen Gray's vocals are pure silk. He doesn’t belt it out like he’s auditioning for a talent show—he lets the lyrics breathe, man. You can almost picture him chilling in the studio, sipping tea, thinking deep thoughts about love and life. It’s not flashy or overdone, but that’s why it sticks with you. Sometimes less really is more. Then there’s The Greatest Love Of All (Version). Now, if you’re unfamiliar with dub culture, here’s a crash course: versions = magic. This instrumental take strips everything back and lets the bassline do its thing. It’s hypnotic, bro. Like staring at waves crashing against rocks while someone plays drums in the background. If I had to pick my favorite moment, it’d be when the horns sneak in around the halfway mark—it’s like an unexpected hug from an old friend. You didn’t know you needed it until it happened. Clem ‘Bushranger’ Bushay deserves props too. Dude knew how to craft tunes that felt both timeless and fresh. There’s no Auto-Tune nonsense or flashy production tricks—just honest-to-goodness musicianship. Back then, folks weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they were perfecting the ride. Let’s zoom out for a sec. Released in ’78, this album came at a time when reggae was spreading its wings globally. Trojan Records played a big role in bringing Jamaican vibes to British shores, and albums like this kept the fire burning. Sure, it might not have topped charts worldwide, but it became a cult classic for those who dig deeper than surface-level hits. So, would I recommend giving this record a spin? Absolutely. Whether you’re into reggae or just looking for something different, The Greatest Love Of All has got charm for days. Just don’t expect any power ballads—this is rootsy, laid-back goodness all the way. Oh, and here’s a random thought to leave you with: If plants could listen to music, I reckon they’d grow faster listening to this album. Maybe try playing it near your houseplants—you might end up with tomatoes the size of watermelons. Stranger things have happened, right?
