Roy Ayers had a song called 'Vibrations' in the late 70's. I'm as confused as you guys are. | ||

Weren't The Vibrations the first people to do "My Girl Sloopy"? I want to say 1968, but I'm probably wrong. | ||

DyvaNaye; You are correct but I remember them doing "Sloopy" as early as 1965 or '66 in their live show. They made beautiful songs like "Cindy", "Misty", & my fave "Forgive And Forget"! S.S. | ||

- and the most unexpected version of Since I Fell For You that I've ever heard. Instead of the usual cool ballad, they turned it into an uptempo stomper  | ||

What about this tune 'Hold Me Tight' - Johnny Nash LOVED this record... | ||
Ritchie (ritchie) 3-Pundit Username: ritchie Post Number: 70 Registered: 4-2004 Posted From: 62.254.0.32 |
Hold Me Tight was probably the first Jamaican-recorded song to hit in the US. - OK, I know it was overdubbed and mixed in New York, but the basic rhythm track and inspiration was pure Jamaican in origin. Recorded at Dynamic in Kingston, if anyone's interested! | ||

Hey Soul Sister, I'm feeling you on that Forgive & Forget. I don't know why that wasn't released as an A Side. That was one gorgeous song! | ||

Ritchie: Wasn't Byron Lee & the Dragonnaires on Johnny Nash's "Hold Me Tight"? Also, what about Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" from 1964? Wouldn't that have been considered the first Jamaican-rooted song to hit the American airwaves? Kevin Goins - KevGo | ||

Hey All: I tried to upload an image and had an internal problem with my own computer. I had a picture of the Vibration 45 with Bobby Eli and the gang on Marmaduke records. But could not get it to load. Am working on the internal problem as we speak Soulaholic | ||

Hi! There's a new compilation "The Vibrations/Out Of Sight!" recently released on RPM/Shout. It covers the years 1960-63; 36 tracks. Best regards Heikki | ||

Hi Kev - I don't know for sure but my guess is that the musicians on Hold Me Tight may have been: Hux Brown on guitar, Jackie Jackson on bass, and Paul Douglas on drums. That's the team Johnny and Danny Sims used on the early Bob Marley sessions recorded around the same time. And yes, Millie's "Lollipop" is considered the first Jamaican flavoured record to hit in the US, though it was of course cut in London. | ||

Hi Tony C - Johnny's "Let's Move and Groove Together" on the flip of Hold Me Tight (a hit in '68) was a reissue of an earlier recording (from 1966, if I recall correctly) originally issued on Pye over here. Strangely enough, Johnny's follow-ups You Got Soul, and Cupid were on Major Minor.... | ||
