Recording with producer Duke Reid, Cole hit the charts with a strong debut in 1962’s “Rough and Tough.” He duetted with singer Patsy Todd on the follow-up single, “When You Call My Name,” later that year. Partnership apparently suited Cole: while continuing to record solo for Reid, the artist teamed with young vocalist Ken Boothe in the duo Stranger and Ken, and the pair released a string of singles, including “World’s Fair” for producer Clement “Coxsone” Dodd. As the sonic fashion changed from ska to rocksteady, Cole rejoined Todd, waxing several hits, most notably, 1967’s “Down to the Trainline” for Sonia Pottinger’s Gayfeet label. Cole also teamed with Gladstone Anderson for the 1968 single “Just Like A River” with Joe Gibbs at the controls. In the early ‘70s, Cole spent time in England and Canada before returning to Jamaica, where he still performs and records.     Stranger Cole & Patsy Lick Shot PlayJ Reggae It's OK to listen to a Stranger, when he's crooning over a rock steady groove this rock solid. Another buried gem from the Treasure Isle label.
