A classic in every sense of the word, ‘A House Is Not A Home’ is loved by singers and songwriters alike. Consider Hopeton Lindo and Marcia Griffiths among its admirers.
Their version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David ballad will be released on August 29. It is co-produced by Lindo for Irie Pen Records and Syl Gordon for Cell Block Records.
‘A House Is Not A Home’ is also the latest single released from ‘This Song’s For You,’Lindo’s latest album, which was released on July 18 by Zojak Worldwide. Lindo, one of reggae’s premier songwriters, says he always loved the song, which was originally recorded by Dionne Warwick in 1964.
After deciding to cover ‘A House Is Not A Home,’ he called on Marcia Griffiths, the acclaimed Queen of Reggae, to share the mic. The result is a riveting, mid-tempo track that does the original justice.
‘A House Is Not A Home’ is one of 10 songs on ‘This Song’s For You,’ a quality project that includes number one singles such as ‘Silent Consent’ and ‘Favorite Girl,’ plus other quality standout tracks like the title track, ‘Hot Number,’ ‘Glowing,’ ‘Up On The Roof,’ and ‘Good Woman.’ The entire album is awesome.
Hopeton Lindo and Marcia Griffiths appear poised to achieve yet another major chart-topper with “A House Is Not A Home.”
