Soldering (song)

"Soldering" is a song, by Ewart Beckford & Alvin Ranglin, that has been recorded by artists including Desmond Dekker, The Specials, and Hall & Oates. About a woman's choosiness, the title is a euphemism for copulation.

Originally a big hit in early 1975 for Jamaican Stanley Beckford under the name The Starlights (or The Starlights featuring Stanley Beckford), he is often not credited due to the lack of copyright in Jamaica at the time.

AMG's Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes Hall & Oates' cover, from the album Daryl Hall & John Oates released in late 1975, as, "fall[ing] flat," and, "reggae tinged."
