Living For The City

Pat Rhoden · 1974
Recording

He recorded a reggae cover of Stevie Wonder’s song for a UK single issued on Attack in 1974. The release was part of Pat Rhoden’s Trojan-era output and paired with “Just Wanna Live” on the B-side. The track sat in the early-1970s UK reggae practice of reworking American soul hits for local audiences. It later surfaced on Trojan’s Suedehead box set, reinforcing its status as a prized deep cut from the label’s catalog. The record continues to circulate among reggae collectors and specialist DJs, and it has been featured in modern radio and streaming playlists. Its appearance on Trojan compilations has kept it visible as one of Rhoden’s best-known sides.
