Charlie Chaplin Albums (7)
What The Critics Say
Whether singing or toasting, Charlie Chaplin is one of reggae's most versatile performers. This CD includes a clever reggae adaptation of an old B.B. King tune retitled "Singin' the Blues" and a less successful cover of Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" called "Don't Touch Crack." Chaplin also offers a take on James Bond with "License to Kill," his thoughts on contemporary romance with "Modern Girl" and some other notions on life and love. His vocals and interaction with backup singers are engaging, while his verbal quips are often thoughtful and catchy. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
Two Sides of Charlie Chaplin is a raucous, live-in-the-studio reggae outing, cut with a number of inebriated friends cheering Chaplin on. The record flows without any dead space between the jaunty, piano-driven tracks; instead, the songs are separated by Chaplin's motormouth antics, which encompass spiels on sex, spirituality, violence and even an impersonation of Gregory Isaacs. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
