Known for hard-hitting songs like Jah Live Forever and My Bredren, Doniki shows a different side to his artistry on The Last Thing On My Mind. He covered that ballad â originally done by country singer Tom Paxton â with Rosie B.
Their version is produced by Earl Messam, a Jamaican who is a veteran of the Philadelphia reggae scene. It is from Champions In Action, a compilation album released by Messamâs Wildfire Records.
Messam said Doniki, who died in 2016, was not keen to record a reggae take on the song, which has been covered by Neil Diamond, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton.
