Donald 'Tabby' Shaw, Fitzroy 'Bunny' Shaw and
Lloyd 'Judge' Ferguson: meet the Might Diamonds.
Together with the Gladiators, they've made their
particular style of the Vocal Harmony Group
popular because of their releases on Virgin's
Front Line Label back in the 1970's.
In perfect harmony, they rode a number of
riddims by Sly and Robbie's Revolutionaries, the
studio band for Channel One in the days that
Rockers Music was hot.
In this podcast, we're being introduced to the
Mighty Diamonds throughout their carrier. Classics
like "I Need A Roof" and "Poor
Markus" are among the Mighty Diamonds' top
tunes, but as the mix shows they are able to ride
on a variety of riddims. The last tune, a remix
from I need a Roof, even is in some kind of
Trip-Hop style!
