Horace Andy has remained a popular reggae singer for decades,
traveling through rock steady/early reggae, lovers rock, and dancehall
due to his likeable helium-filled vocals and catchy song writing skills.
His remarkable career spun into overdrive with the recording, Skylarking,
which sealed his stardom. The song was placed on the Jamaica Today compilation
and caused such a fevered reaction at the Lord Tippertone sound system
that Dodd quickly released it as a single, where it rocketed to the
top of the Jamaican chart.
From that point on, the hits rained down: Love of a Woman,
Every Tongue Shall Tell, a cover of Cat Steven's Where
Do the Children Play, and the deeply devotional Oh Lord Why Lord,
amongst the number.
In 1972, Studio One released Skylarking, rounding up a clutch
of Andy's singles and other crucial recordings from this period.
More recently as the vocals on much of Massive Attack's work,
Andy reached a wide audience, bridging the gap between Reggae and contemporary
electronic music fans.
