    Ballroom Floor Riddim - Various Labels

    Ballroom Floor produced by Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Wailer, Everton Bonner, Joseph Bonner, Lloyd Campbell, Lyndon Hull, Ainsworth Higgins for Studio One, Solomonic, Bonner, Joe Frasier, VP, Footsteps originally in 1966.

    First cut in 1966 and produced by Coxsone Dodd for Studio One, Ballroom Floor later resurfaced across several labels and eras, with the track running from Bunny Wailer’s 1981 version to 1990s and 2000s reinterpretations by Richie Spice, Pliers, Glen Washington, Dean Fraser, Lady Saw, Anthony Cruz and others. The tune traces back to The Wailers’ original Ballroom Floor and keeps that classic foundation in play through later cuts on Solomonic, Bonner, Joe Frasier, VP and Footsteps, making it a long-running riddim with both roots and dancehall history in one line.
