Dont Wait Around Overview

The “Don't Wait Around Riddim” comes from a strong era in reggae music, when roots rhythms were shaping the sound of Jamaica. This foundation rhythm was produced by STUDIO ONE RECORDS, a label known for launching many reggae legends. Studio One, started by Clement “Coxsone” Dodd, is often called the “Motown of Jamaica” and is famous for classic albums and singles that are still played around the world. This riddim features three respected artists: Al Campbell, Albert Tomlinson, and Glen Washington. Al Campbell brings his smooth voice to “Crusing.” Campbell is well known for his solo work and also for being part of the group The Thrillers in the 1970s. Albert Tomlinson sings “Don't Wait Around.” He is recognized for his roots reggae style and has been active in the reggae scene since the 1970s. Glen Washington’s “Sweet Little Woman” adds another soulful touch. Washington is famous for his hit “Kindness for Weakness,” which reached reggae charts in the late 1990s and helped him gain international fans. Today, this recording is a go-to for selectors and DJs. Its timeless roots sound is leading roots reggae playlists this season. The classic Studio One production and strong performances keep the riddim fresh for new listeners and reggae fans everywhere.
