Bunny Rugs – “Land We Love” (2012)

Released in 2012, “Land We Love” is an ode to Jamaica released to celebrate the nation’s 50th anniversary of independence that year. All proceeds from the single went to the Jamaican Children’s Heart Fund (the charity for which he was a spokesman) and Chain of Hope. The breezy tune, featuring the sax work of his longtime friend Dean Fraser, spotlights Rugs’ strength as a vocalist even in his 60s.
