Labi Siffre – Remember My Song, Vinyl LP

Remember My Song is the fifth studio album by Labi Siffre, released in 1975. It weaves together elements of soul, funk and R&B, showcasing Siffre’s ability to write both infectious grooves and reflective ballads. Co-produced by Big Jim Sullivan and Derek Lawrence, the record features notable contributions from session musicians including Chas & Dave and Brian Bennett of The Shadows. Tracks such as I Got The..., The Vulture, Down and Sadie And The Devil highlight the album’s deep funk sound, while songs like Dreamer and Remember My Song reveal Siffre’s more contemplative side.

Although the album was not a major commercial success upon release, it has grown in stature over the years. Its influence reached new audiences when the riff from I Got The... was famously sampled by Eminem for My Name Is, drawing attention back to Siffre’s catalogue. Today Remember My Song is recognised as one of his finest achievements, balancing raw rhythm and lyrical sensitivity in a way that feels both timeless and distinctive.
