"After his time at Treasure Isle Alton continued to have a highly successful career of recording and performing, smoothly navigating the various crazes that arose and always with that wonderful voice in A-1 nick. He died in London on 10th October 2008, leaving a huge legacy to Jamaican music. Greatest Hits - Mr Soul Of Jamaica finds him at his very best, with great songs, excellent musical accompaniment and that voice on tip-top form. Perfect for the dance and for every mood, be you joyful, sorrowful, lonesome or exhilarated. Here's the magic of Alton Ellis, music that lifts the heart".

"Alton Ellis gained the nickname "Mr Soul of Jamaica" with good reason. A singer who could give just about any song an ear-catchingly soulful treatment without apparently breaking sweat ... He recorded for many producers, and even ran his own label, but he seldom surpassed the consistent quality of his work for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle between 1965 and '70. "Mr Soul Of Jamaica" takes an original album and expands it into a 2CD extravaganza. Backed principally by the impeccable Tommy McCook Band, it's a musical recipe which bursts with flavour, from late ska numbers like "Dance Crasher" through his landmark rocksteady tunes such as "Girl I've Got A Date" and "Rocksteady" itself, to the dawn of the reggae era with the lilting "Remember That Sunday", duetted with Phyllis Dillon ... One of Jamaica's best singers performing many of his best songs - a no-brainer".
