Gwen Guthrie (1950 – 1999) started in the seventies as a songwriter and doing background vocals for various artists as Roberta Flack, Madonna, Stephanie Mills, Billy Joel, Luther Vandross etc.
In 1982 she recorded with the producers Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare (of Peter Tosh’s band) her first album ‘Gwen Guthrie’. This album is a successful combination of dance-floor anthems and great laid back tracks.
The biggest dance-floor anthem was ‘It should have been you’ which was remixed by Paradise Garage DJ legend Larry Levan. Other big tunes are ‘Peek-a-boo’ and the beautiful laid back tracks ‘Is this love’ & ‘God don’t like ugly’.
