1964

DADDY * THE MAYTALS * ISLAND 167 * UK

Toots Hibbert slows down the frenetic Ska pace on this ballad in what sounds like a genuine heartfelt homage to his mother and father. Produced by Byron Lee/Ronnie Nasralla and released on the BMN imprint JA, in 1964 the most productive year of The Maytals career. Produced by Warrick Lyn, Daddy was re-recorded by them in 1972 (see below) and is every bit as intense and genuine sounding.
