HAPPY BIRTHDAY HORACE ANDY

TODAY IS HORACE ANDY'S DAY - BORN FEBR.19 1951 Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Hinds recorded his first single, "This is a Black Man's Country," in 1967 for producer Phil Pratt.[1] "This is a Black Man's Country" failed to make an impact, and it wouldn't be until 1970 that he achieved a breakthrough. After unsuccessfully auditioning at Coxsone Dodd's Studio One as a duo along with Frank Melody, he successfully auditioned on his own a few days later.[1] Dodd decided Hinds should record as Horace Andy, partly to capitalise on the popularity of Bob Andy, and partly to avoid comparisons with his cousin, Justin Hinds, with whom his singing style at the time showed a resemblance.[1] "Got To Be Sure", the song he had auditioned with, became his first release for Studio One. The following two years saw the release of further singles such as "See a Man's Face", "Night Owl", "Fever", and "Mr. Bassie". One of Andy's most enduring songs, "Skylarking", first appeared on Dodd's Jamaica Today compilation album, but after proving a sound system success, it was released as a single, going on to top the Jamaican chart.[1] The next few years saw Andy regularly in the reggae charts with further singles for Dodd such as "Something on My Mind", "Love of a Woman", "Just Say Who", and "Every Tongue Shall Tell", as well as singles for other producers such as "Lonely Woman" (for Derrick Harriott), "Girl I Love You" (Ernest and Joseph Hoo Kim), "Love You to Want Me" and "Delilah" (Gussie Clarke), and "Get Wise", "Feel Good", and "Money Money" for Phil Pratt. Andy had a second Jamaican number one single in 1973 with "Children of Israel".[1] Andy's most successful association with a producer, however, was with Bunny Lee in the middle part of the 1970s. This era produced a series of singles now regarded as classics such as a re-recorded "Skylarking", "Just Say Who", "Don't Try To Use Me", "You Are My Angel", "Zion Gate", "I've Got to Get Away", and a new version of "Something on My Mind".

Bob Marley - Roots, Rock, Reggae

Music Video By Bob Marley Performing Roots, Rock, Reggae from the album Rastaman Vibration Studio album by Bob Marley & The Wailers Released (30 April 1976) Recorded (Harry J. Studios, Joe Gibbs Studio, Kingston, Jamaica, late 1975–early 1976) Label Island Tuff Gong (reissue) Producer Bob Marley & The Wailers Rastaman Vibration is a reggae album by Bob Marley & The Wailers released on 30 April 1976. The album was a great success in the USA, becoming the first (and only) Bob Marley release to reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200 charts (peaking at number 8), in addition to releasing Marley's most popular US single "Roots, Rock, Reggae," the only Marley single to reach the Billboard Hot 100 charts, peaking at No. 51. Synthesizers are featured prominently on this album, adding a breezy embellishment to otherwise hard-driving songs with strong elements of rock guitar. This is one of the three Wailers solo albums released in 1976, along with Blackheart Man by Bunny Wailer and Legalize It by Peter Tosh.

Desmond Dekker

Desmond Dekker’s impact of upon the world of music can never be underestimated. His groundbreaking recordings during the sixties and early seventies opened the way for the likes of Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff to make their mark on the world stage. From 1967 to 1970, he enjoyed a run of international chart hits as yet unequalled by any other Jamaican performer and yet, for all his success, Desmond’s achievements were often overlooked by music writers. Born Desmond Adolphus Dacres, on July 16th 1943 in Kingston, Jamaica, he spent his early childhood on the family farm in Danvers Pen, St Thomas where he was raised by his father. During his youth, he regularly sang in the local church choir, although his desire to become a singer was sparked by an altogether different kind of music, as he recalled in an interview with respected Jamaican music historian, Laurence Cane-Honeysett in 1999.
