Genres

[edit]

Shervington's main genre is reggae, true. But I've come across recordings of him trying his hand at other styles, such as the track 'Gimme', which sound a lot like calypso, mento or early soca. And since he's one of the early artists, some of his older tracks such as Dat are more of a rocksteady or slow ska take on reggae. His renditions of classics such as Rock the Boat and Jambalaya are clear examples of disco, if you ask me. Maybe up for revision? Woolters (talk) 13:49, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

All of which is fine and dandy, but I'm afraid your opinion, rather like mine and every other editor, counts for nothing here on Wikipedia. To be less blunt, all genres need to be backed by a reliable source, which needs to explicitly state the genre to be considered for inclusion. Without that, it is dead in the water. Sorry,
