HAPPINESS RIDDIM produced by CONCORD MUSIC 2001
Happiness Overview
The dub version “Love and Happiness” comes from the Happiness Riddim, which first appeared in Jamaica in 2001. This roots reggae instrumental quickly became popular with selectors and reggae fans, and it still plays in reggae mixes today. Several well-known singers recorded on the Happiness Riddim. Christopher’s “My Love” is a standout, showing his smooth vocals. Christopher is known for his hit “Lady In Red,” which made him a familiar name in Jamaican music. Razah brings gentle energy with “Just Friends.” Singing Melody, famous for his solo album “They Call Me Mr. Melody,” adds his soulful voice to “Two Way Street.” Tony Curtis, who once sang with the group L.U.S.T, delivers “That Girl” in his unique style. Freddie McGregor, a true legend with hits like “Big Ship” and a Grammy nomination for his album “Anything for You,” gives us “Eyes On You.” Each artist brings their own flavor, making the compilation feel rich and full of roots spirit. The producer behind the Happiness Riddim is CONCORD MUSIC. This label is known for building strong reggae and dancehall catalogues, and has worked with many established and rising artists. Their focus on classic reggae sounds with a modern touch helped the Happiness Riddim stand out in 2001. Fans still return to “Love and Happiness” and the other tracks on this riddim. For many, it is a roots memory from the early 2000s, and a reminder of the timeless sound of reggae.
