1961

OH MY DARLING * RHYTHM ACES AND THE CARIBS * STARLITE 066 * UK

Released December 1961this was choice ballad was the second of two on the label by the Rhythm Aces & The Caribs, and is a Jamaican produced DooWop recording that's indistinguishable from the American model. So much so that were it not for the more Jamaican sounding Shuffle cut on the next side I would have at one time thought that, because the Starlight label issued some American recordings, that this record was actually by the American group, called The Rhythm Aces, who recorded for Vee Jay in the early 1950's. The name is not uncommon as there was a Jazz band called the Rhythm Aces recording for Biograph as far back as the 1920's.
