Do It Right Riddim – Studio One, Treasure Isle, GG’s, Black, White, Island

Do It Right produced by Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid, Alvin Ranglin, Carlton Patterson, Bunny Striker Lee, Leslie Kong for Studio One, Treasure Isle, GG’s, Black, White, Island in 1967

1967 roots-era action from Studio One, Treasure Isle, GG’s, Black, White and Island, Do It Right pulls together a deep stack of names tied to some of Jamaican music’s most important production houses, with Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid, Alvin Ranglin, Carlton Patterson, Bunny Striker Lee and Leslie Kong all credited in the mix. The lineup runs from The Three Tops and Phyllis Dillon’s Do It Right (Soul Take) and The Three Tops with Tommy McCook All Stars to U-Roy’s 1969 cut, Charlie Ace’s Shock And Shake and Michael Scotland’s I Hold The Handle, giving the riddim a wide run through rocksteady and early reggae years. The Clarendonians’ Do It Right and The Melodians’ Let’s Give Praise and Thanks also anchor the set, and the collection’s 11 tracks make it feel like a small archive of classic Jamaican versions rather than a single-label showcase.
