Originally cut in 1972, Black Cinderella Riddim pulls together a deep foundation tune associated with Errol Dunkley and later versions across different labels, with this set crediting producers and labels including Roy Francis, Jimmy Radway, Bertram Brown, Alvin Ranglin, Hyman Wright, Percy Chin, Morris White, Peter Jonker, Gary Tomlinson, Flabba Holt, and Maurice Johnson across mixes linked to Mixing Lab, Fe-Me Time, Freedom Sounds, GG’s, Jah Life, Zola, Spragga Roots, Jet Star, and Black Scorpio. The lineup spans eras, bringing in names like Big Youth, Errol Dunkley, Admiral Tibet, Dennis Brown, and Edi Fitzroy alongside later cuts from Anthony Johnson, General Trees, and others, which gives the riddim a long-running life from roots through dancehall. Errol Dunkley’s original Black Cinderella remains the anchor point here, and the version history makes clear how widely this one traveled after Jimmy Radway’s early-’70s hit.
