The Chantells

[1] Samuel Bramwell, Tommy Thomas and Lloyd Forrester started to record as a vocal harmony trio in 1975, for the producers Duke Reid and Clive Hunt.

The Chantells were usually backed on their records by The Revolutionaries or by Lloyd Parks and his band Skin, Flesh and Bones, with King Tubby and Scientist engineering and producing.

The track was later released on a Heartbeat Records compilation entitled The Reggae Train : More Great Hits from the High Note Label.

Vocalist Sam Bramwell made a number of powerful solo recordings for producer and label owner, Donovan Germain.

[2] A number of highly regarded compilations of their work have been released in recent years, solidifying their reputation as roots reggae and dub artists of innovation, originality and creativity : the most notable is The Chantells & Friends – Children of Jah 1977-1979, released by Blood and Fire in 1999, with extensive and well-researched sleeve notes from reggae historian, archivist and collector, Steve Barrow.
