OLDIES SUNDAY: The Paragons – On The Beach (1967)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Summer, and it’s time to have some fun. How about some music to go with it? Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we’re highlighting a song that you could call a “Summer Song“. We go back in time to check out The Paragons’ “On The Beach“.

Produced by Sonia Pottinger with arrangement by Tommy McCook & The Supersonics and released through Treasure Isle in 1967, it’s time to revel in some fun with The Paragons’ “On The Beach”. The group, consisting of John Holt, Garth Evans, Bob Andy, and Howard Barrett, delivered harmonies and good vibes with their song that painted the picture of days at the beach with friends, playing music to dance all the time to, and having fun like it’s never gonna end. “On The Beach” quickly became a hit for The Paragons, and ended up becoming one of the group’s best releases. The single would later be featured on their 1967 album, “On The Beach With The Paragons“. “On The Beach” would later be sampled by Microphones Killarz, and covered by band member John Holt, Byron Lee and The Dragonaires, and Wayne Wade.

Since the release of “On The Beach”, The Paragons would go on to release more music until John Holt left in 1970 to pursue a solo career. Garth Evans would also leave for solo endeavours, and The Paragons would go through a few band and name changes before disbanding. The group would reform in the late 70s, and would perform over the years. Evans, Holt, and Bob Andy would pass away in 2000, 2014, and 2020 respectively. “On The Beach” would remain one of their biggest releases.

Thank You The Paragons For This Classic!

Posted on by swadedavillain

What is Summer without some fun? What is Summer without a Block Party? New York-based Alternative R&B Recording Artist/Producer Nesta is eager to be a part of them all this Summer. So much so that he’s kicking things off with his new single, “Outside“.

The self-produced “Outside” track was released through Black Wax, and it finds Nesta embodying the spirit of the Summer, and beaming good energy on the track. With Gyptian’s classic “Hold Yuh” being sampled, we’re expecting flags waving at the cookout, the liquor flowing at the Beach Party, the nights being lit up at the street dance, and the vibes amplified at the Day Brunch parties. Nesta wants all the couples to get together at the dance, the ladies to step out in their best looks, everyone to enjoy life in the best way, and this Summer to be an unforgettable one. Whether you’re in New York, LA, London, Lagos, Port Of Spain, or Kingston, we’re gonna be outside this Summer! Bartender please bring another round.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Danny English Ft. Egg Nogg – Party Time (2002)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Closing off the month of July on Oldies Sunday, and we’re celebrating Summer! For today’s selection, we go back to a time before Social Media, when “Peanut” cellphones were the rage, and the Riddims became instant hits. We go back to the early 2000s with Danny English and Egg Nogg’s “Party Time“.

Produced by “Lenky” Marsden on the “Diwali Riddim” and released through the 40/40 Label in 2002, “Party Time” was about having a good time with good people. Danny English’s raspy delivery paired with Egg Nogg’s melodic flow paired well together, and over the classic instrumental, the song quickly became a hit locally and Internationally. The “Diwali Riddim” already had hits from other Artists, and this track was just icing on the cake.

Since the release of “Party Time”, Danny English and Egg Nogg continued to secure their presence in Dancehall with more music releases. Though they didn’t repeat the success of their hit, they remained active over the years. “Party Time” is a classic, and continues to cause a scene everywhere it’s played.

Thank You Danny English & Egg Nogg For This Hit!

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to Summer, it’s always best to enjoy the outdoors, no matter how hot it gets. The season is filled with street parties, cookouts, beach trips, river visits, and a lot more. Dancehall Artist Skeng is outside, and like his new video, “Nah Go In“.

Directed by Iya Champs and shot in New York, Skeng is “fully outside” with it as he can be seen interacting with many individuals. With a cup in hand and a spliff not too far off, Skeng is feeling the outside vibes, and he has a word or few to say those who want him to out of the way. He’s all about the ladies, good vibes, a lil badness, and having fun. Rapper Rowdy Rebel makes a quick appearance in the video as well. “Nah Go In” was produced by John Coop Records, and Universvl who we have featured a number of times here. Staying inside is off limits for the season.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ding Dong Ft. @IAmQyor – Holiday (2009)

Posted on by swadedavillain

This past week marked the beginning of the 2022 Summer season. Many have been looking forward to relaxing, having fun, explore new territories, and meet new people, and we urge you all to be safe. Nothing says Summer in Jamaica like a party series, or a Summer song. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we look back at one of Dancehall’s greatest Summer songs, and it comes from Dancehall Artist/Dancer Ding Dong with the track, “Holiday“!

Produced by Wayne “Hunga” Thompson for Notice Productions and released in 2009, Ding Dong’s “Holiday” single features Recording Artist Chevaughn. On the track, the Artists celebrate taking a break from everything to have endless fun. Whether you were putting down the schoolbooks or escaping the 9 to 5, this was your time to call up friends, and find yourselves somewhere to release the stress. The upbeat single encouraged listeners to break out the dance moves, and the accompanying Road Block Films directed music video showed off colourful outfits, and scenes with friends kicking back and enjoying the Summer holidays.

Ding Dong and Chevaughn’s “Holiday” was a hit, becoming a top ten single in Jamaica, and gaining momentum around the world. The single received a great amount of airplay, and it is considered a classic Dancehall Summer song. Since the release of “Holiday”, Ding Dong has been enjoying a very lucrative music and dance career, and he is still active and on top of his game. Chevaughn scored a few hits for himself over the years, and has recently changed his stage name to Qyor. For those who are ready for the Summer, remember to put “Holiday” in your Playlists.
