Baby Be True produced by Coxsone Dodd, Morris White, Peter Jonker for Studio One, Zola in 1967
Baby Be True was produced by Coxsone Dodd, Morris White, and Peter Jonker for Studio One and Zola in 1967, and it pulls together a small but telling mix of roots-era and later cut versions around the Heptones’ original Baby. Dennis Alcapone’s Baby Version and Leon Hyatt and Jah Lion’s Baby Be True keep the rhythm moving through the dancehall-to-rocksteady bridge, while The Heptones and Sound Dimension version closes the set with the studio’s familiar vocal-and-band interplay. The Heptones’ Baby is the anchor here, with Anthony B’s Jah It’s Me showing how the riddim continued to travel well beyond its first life.
