the sweetest harmonies

[Marky Dread]

hello ital kemar and all!
here are two of my fave vocal lollipops:
royals "pick up the pieces"
[cover=2132,2488]
travellers "black black minds"
[cover=4878,1299]

find myself going back to these ALL the time!

[TheExpanders]

The Ethiopians

But the top of the pick must be the Original Wailers.

[I-Lion Tafari]

Strictly Gladiators on their Trenchtown Mix Up album.
The Ovationz are deep and heavy.
Not to forget The Meditations and The Heptones.

Revolutionary Sounds + Drift Away From Evil

personally, i think the congos and the maytones rank up there with the best harmony groups. the vocals on heart of the congos and congo ashanti are some of the best i have heard, and the maytones, one way album, or keep the fire burning are fine examples of their work too. shame the maytones never made it bigger during the 70s. i wonder if they had 'locksed up' would they have been signed by virgin back then. kinda glad they didnt. does anyone rate the itals. i like this group too. early recordings, and rasta philosophy are 2 nice records by them.

The Heptones and the Gaylads.

Have to mention the Sons Of Jah...IF they sing IN tune...what they don´t in EVERY song....hehehe.

Listened to Te Gaylads´ "Understanding" album last week - nuff nuff enjoyment. Pure sweetness like candy!

Enjoy!!
