Cherry Oh Baby Overview

When the Cherry Oh Baby Riddim dub was released in 1999, reggae fans quickly embraced its warm, classic sound. The riddim became a favorite in roots sets that year, with selectors praising its deep bass and timeless vibe. Listeners enjoyed hearing familiar voices over the new version, giving the release extra excitement. Audrey Hall’s “Fade Away” stood out for many fans. Hall is well known for her 1986 hit “One Dance Won’t Do,” and her smooth delivery on this riddim brought a sense of nostalgia. George Nooks contributed “Over & Over,” adding his signature soulful style. Nooks has had several songs reach the Jamaican charts, making his appearance a highlight. Louie Culture’s “Hold On Tight” offered uplifting lyrics, while Platynum’s “Still The One” and Tanya Stephens’ “You’re Freak” brought fresh energy. Stephens, who would later gain international success with songs like “It’s a Pity,” showed her early talent here. The sound of the riddim was crafted by BARRY U RECORDS, a label respected for its work in the reggae scene. BARRY U RECORDS has a history of supporting both new and established artists, helping to shape the sound of late ‘90s reggae. The Cherry Oh Baby Riddim remains a strong example of their impact, continuing to be played and enjoyed by fans and selectors alike.
