The Paragons - The Tide Is High


Newer

Recommended Posts

I picked up a great compilation yesterday and am just listening to the Paragons version of The Tide Is High. I don't think I have ever heard a Reggae track where a violin is so prominent in the song?

 

It is a great comp with tracks by The Techniques, The Paragons, The Three Tops (new one on me), The Jamaicans, The Sensations, The Melodians, Alton and the Flames.

You've hit the jackpot there mate, nothing like a Treasure Isle compilation.

The Three Tops had several Jamaican hits, It's Raining is the most famous, they did a version of Chuck Jackson's Good Things Come To Those Who Wait in a rocksteady style.

Alton Ellis is the greatest Jamaican singer of all time.  I have over 100 tracks by this man.
