Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner Riddim – Heart To Heart

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner produced by Niney The Observer, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare for Heart To Heart in 1976

Originally cut in 1976 and produced by Niney The Observer with Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare for Heart To Heart, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner Riddim links one of reggae’s best-known hooks to a later voice-heavy showcase. Black Uhuru’s Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner and Mykal Rose’s 1976 take are the key anchors here, while later cuts from Gregory Isaacs, Chrisinti, Determine and Thriller Blacks, LT, and Simpleton keep the rhythm moving across different eras. The track has a long afterlife, with the original idea first surfacing in the mid-70s before being revisited in a 2000s set of updated vocals. Niney’s name adds real weight to the session, and the Sly and Robbie touch gives the whole thing that classic roots-to-dancehall connection.
