One of the most important harmony groups in the entirety of Jamaican music, the Paragons have a long and complicated history. First formed in the ska years by Bob Andy and Tyrone Evans as the duo of Andy And Ronnie, the group soon expanded to a quartet through the addition of Howard Barrett and John Holt, the latter naturally assuming lead duties; following the subsequent departure of Andy, Holt, Evans, and Barrett made the Paragons the quintessential rock steady trio. They had an incredible run of hits for Duke Reid and Coxsone during the mid-to-late '60s, and also issued some self-produced work, before Holt's solo career skyrocketed, leaving the group on the back-burner. Then, in the mid-1970s, the Paragons reformed, cutting material for New York-based labels such as Clocktower and Clintones, which led to this intriguing album, which saw material recorded in Jamaica at Harry J for Bunny Lee mixed with work cut at Bullwackie's studio in the Bronx; along with re-workings of classics such as \"Left With A Broken Heart\" and \"Memories By The Score\" is a whole range of new material, dealing with contemporary themes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmile It's a New Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo Right My Brothers and Sisters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet the Wicked Runaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalk to the People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeel Alright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft With a Broken Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Vibrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSparkle of My Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Will I Hurt You Girl 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Can't I Have My Way 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Number One 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemories By the Score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"848","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50566317801768,"sku":"859273500668","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3665338.jpg?v=1763986968","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/paragons-return-lp-59273500668","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
