| VARIOUS ARTISTS | KC CD JAM 01 | Jamaican Doo Wop, Vol. 1 | ● CD $17.98 |
| A truly fascinating album - it's a real shame there is no
documentation. This features 24 rare tracks of vocal group harmony from the
late 50s recorded in Jamaica. Some of the tracks are straight ahead copies
of American doo-wop stylings while others have a more distinctively Jamaican
flavor with that distinctive "blue beat" rhythm making it's presence felt.
Artists include The Jiving Juniors (an important group which featured a
young Derrick Herriot), The Moonlighters, Sir Jablonski and Group, The Blues
Busters, The Charm Kings, Chuck & Dobby and others. Sound quality varies
from track to track but is generally good and the music is consistently
fine. LORD "T" ANAMO: The Blues Have Got Me Down/ THE BLUES BUSTERS: I Need Your Lovin'/ Little Vilma/ Pleadin' For Mercy/ Sweet Dreamin'/ BUNNY & SKITTER: Rock With Me Baby/ THE CHARM KINGS: Boss Looking Baby/ Tell Me A Tale/ CHUCK & DOBBY: Tell Me That You Love Me/ Till The End Of Time/ SIR JABLONSKI & GROUP: Merry Christmas Day/ THE JAMAICANS: Du Du Wop/ THE JIVING JUNIORS: Come On Honey/ Don't Treat Me Bad/ I Love You/ I Wanna Love/ Moonlight Lover/ One Summer Night We Fell In Love/ Tu-woo-up-tu-woo/ Valerie/ Walking In The Sunlight Of The Lord/ THE MELODY ENCHANTERS: Enchanters Serenade/ MONTY & ROY: Sweetie/ THE MOONLIGHTERS: I Need Your Lovin' |
