Radiation Roots present a reissue of
Eric Donaldson
's self-titled album, originally released in 1971. Eric Donaldson's soaring falsetto has made him one of Jamaica's best-loved vocalists. Born in the country town of Bog Walk in 1947, Donaldson cut some ska material at Studio One in 1964, which never surfaced, and went on to form The West Indians vocal trio at the tail end of rock steady, enjoying minor local hits for
Sir JJ
and
Lee "Scratch" Perry
. Winning the annual Festival Song Competition with love ditty "Cherry Oh Baby" in 1971 saw him team up with former Jamaicans vocalist
Tommy Cowan
and hit-making producer
Bunny "Striker" Lee
, the subsequent recording of the tune at Dynamic Sounds studio resulting in a spectacular success around the world and subsequent hit cover versions by
The Rolling Stones
and
UB40
, among many others. This self-titled debut album was recorded at Dynamics in the wake of the hit with the set of upcoming players known as
The Inner Circle
, which then featured future members of
Third World
such as keyboardist and arranger
Ibo Cooper
and guitarist
Cat Coore
; along with the enduring "Cherry Oh Baby", there is a popular cover version of the doomed romance saga, "Sylvia's Mother" and an individual rendition of "Love Of The Common People", as well as the castigating "Miserable Woman", all popular with reggae fans at home and abroad. Includes liner notes by
David Katz
.
