Bob Andy a.k.a. Keith Anderson founder member of the Paragons vocal group, recorded tracks like Good Luck and Goodbye for Studio One before leaving that group to become a solo artist. As one of Studio One's leading lights, besides writing songs for himself which have become reggae standards Feeling Soul, My Time, Going Home, and Too Experienced, he worked closely with Jackie Mittoo on many of the label's seminal sounds crafting big hits like: Truly and Feel Like Jumping for the young Marcia Griffiths, and Ken Boothe's Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye
International recognition came in 1970 when Bob and Marcia Griffiths recorded Nina Simone's Young, Gifted and Black which sold 1/2 million in the UK and Europe, and still receives frequent airplay today. Bob & Marcia became household names, appearing on Top of the Pops and touring extensively. They had another UK Top Ten single and two albums for Trojan Records.
