The Melodians are a rocksteady band formed in Jamaica, which recorded
several hits. Their most famous song “Rivers of Babylon” reached world
fame after Boney M. scored a giant worldwide hit with it in 1978. The
album by the same name features more of their attractive sounds, like
the single ‘Sweet Sensation’, which made it to the British Top 50. It was
their work with Kingston-based producer, Leslie Kong that yielded their
greatest successes. This long overdue set demonstrates why the trio
are today widely regarded as one of the finest vocal acts in the history
of Jamaican music. The simple and fun sound of the Melodians is still a
breeze to listen and dance to, all these years on. |
