1966
I'M GONE * CALVIL DAFOS * BLUE BEAT 347 * UK
Not strictly a 'Pre Ska' recording, in fact issued in 1966 it is more accurately a post Ska recording, but as musicaly it is something of an anomaly, it fits better on this page than any of the others. It is a slow Doo Wop style ballad, which could easily have been recorded in the late 1950s. I know nothing of the singer Calvil Dafos, he is backed by a male vocal group doing the Doo Wops, or who it was recorded for.
