In all honesty, there’s nothing better than being a Jamaican. No matter the struggles, no matter the stress, being Jamaican is just different. With Jamaica’s 63rd Independence celebrations on the way, we thought we’d start the party early on “Oldies Sunday“. Today we go back in time to check out Major Worries’ “Product Of Jamaica“.
Produced by Hyman Wright and Percy Chin for the Jah All Mighty Label and released in 1987, Major Worries’ “Product Of Jamaica” is for the true patriot. The Deejay uses his signature style to highlight some of the many names and products that represent Jamaica to the fullest. From Merlene Ottey, to Salada Foods, to Donald Quarrie, to Peter Metro, to Wisynco, to Josey Wales, Worries lectures the listeners on everything made in the 876, and invites International Investors to come be a part of it. “Product Of Jamaica” gained some popularity for the Deejay, and over the years scored numerous spins during Independence Day celebrations. Major Worries was one of Dancehall’s promising stars at the time, and his works have influenced the likes of Sean Paul, and Macka Diamond, who once named herself “Lady Worries“. “Product Of Jamaica” would be one of Worries’ last releases before his tragic passing in August 1987. No matter where you are, no matter what you do, remember that you’re Jamaican, and like Major Worries’ song, you are a product of Jamaica. Happy 63rd, Jamaica.
Thank You Major Worries For This Classic!
