Marcia Griffiths and Sound Dimension – Tell Me Now - Studio One - JA 7" 1979

Marcia Llyneth Griffiths, undisputed reggae royalty and for me, The Queen of Studio One...(on this release credited as Griffits...) Legendary Jamaican vocalist. Born on 23rd November 1949 in West Kingston. Started singing professionally in 1964, for Byron Lee and the Dragonaires band. Her recording years started soon after, at Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One where she recorded her first hit Feel Like Jumping. While recording at Studio One Marcia teamed up with Bob Andy and many duet recordings followed including the international smash hit cover version of Young, Gifted and Black. Following that duet success, she went solo again on the High Note label with reggae's sole established female producer - Sonia Pottinger - hitting with several songs. Ten years after entering the music business, Marcia united with Judy Mowatt and Rita Marley to form the I-Threes, harmony singers in The Wailers. #marciagriffiths #studioone #coxsonedodd #sounddimension #reggae #dub #jamaica #jamrec
