1962

BE STILL * DERRICK MORGAN * BLUE BEAT 76 * UK

Be Still is a solid Boogie Shuffle cut with a  grandstanding and defiant Derrick Morgan laying down his claim to be top man with just the right amount of bragging and boasting that always leaves a gap for it to be tongue-in-cheek. 

Originally released on Beverly's in 1962 Be Still was cut again  by Derrick Morgan for Beverly's in the late 1960s on an Early Reggae rhythm.
