BE TRUE * DERRICK HARRIOTT * BLUE BEAT 178 * UK
Derrick Harriott started out recording as one half of the Jiving Juniors from 1958 to 1962 after which he moved into production and distribution, while still recording solo under his own name. He tended to chose slow ballads, more reminiscent of the New York DooWop style than the new Soul sound emerging from the United States. Though things were soon to change radically when the Chicago sound of Curtis Mayfield started to take hold.
