Clinark-The Reggae Torchreleases "I 'll Be There" Feat. Adele Harley ,
a cover of Jackson 5 classic
Clinark delights fans with the release of this outstanding cover of the Jackson 5 hit single, I'll Be There,' featuring Adele Harley, He brings an outstanding rendition of this modern classic. He is still rising high with his current album ‘Journey to Foreign’ but says he was inspired to do this song. Clinark said ` The Jackson 5 were one of my favourite groups as a youth. I was just harping back to those days and sang a long a bit to the song and then my manager, Juliet Edwards heard it and said I might as well record it for later. Well by the time I had the first demo vocal I was driven and by the time I had finished, Dillie and Mafia and Fluxy and Stanley Andrews had built this amazing track and to top it all Adele Harley came up with these amazing vocals.’
Sadly 4 days after announcing the pre-release of the song, the world heard that Michael Jackson had died. Clinark said ‘I am truly devastated to hear of Michael Jackson’s passing, the world has certainly lost the most gifted entertainer of all time. I have dedicated the track in memory of him.’ The single is available now on MP3 download from Clinark.com and from ITunes, Napster, and CD Baby, Amazon etc this month.
