(The Uniques - Hooray, (One Fine Day)

LISTEN

Seeing this theme through until the end of the week and then I'll be rolling out something fresh on Monday. Just like to thank all you Cats for the visits and comments on the Wailers cut, (and tee), most apprecited. Following a marrow trembler like that is nigh on impossible..one of them cuts that has left me 'chewing canvas' to use an old boxing colloquilism...you know the score, hanging on to the opponent for dear life hoping that the bell tolls for the end of the round..so without further delay hold this cut from one of Jamaica's finest vocal groups The Uniques featuring one of the greatest vocalists to ever grace the M.I.C...Keith 'Slim' Smith, alongside Jimmy Riley and Lloyd 'Charmers' Tyrel with a first outing on themusicologist. A 1967 Bunny 'Striker' Lee production that sounds like it was recorded at the Dukes 'Treasure Isle' studio...the home of Rocksteady.
