Turn to ON STAGE, 9D By Paula Routly Free Press Staff Writer It took one love, one heart and one hurricane to turn Reggae Dance Party '88 into a rallying point for Jamaican relief. Friday's three-hour supershow follows in the wake of Hurricane Gilbert, which devastated the Caribbean island a little over two weeks ago. "Reggae music is most people's connection to Jamaica," said jimmy Swift of All Points Booking, "and this concert will be a contact for people with questions, answers and information about what's going on." Garden tools, hand and power equipment and canned goods will be collected on Union Street before and during the concert; while downstairs, in the basement of Memorial Auditorium. Plans for concert proceeds have also changed since three weeks ago, when the dance party was still a benefit for Vermont Reggae Festival '89. The nonprofit organization was to receive $1 for every $16 ticket sold, but the festival has since decided to contribute a portion of its take to aid Jamaica.

Drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare will back him up, as they did on his latest album, "Wild World." The two-man rhythm section is considered by some to be the best in the business.
