Here I Come produced by Tad Dawkins, Niney The Observer, Maurice Johnson for Black Scorpio, Aquarius in 1974
Here I Come was produced in 1974 for Black Scorpio and Aquarius by Tad Dawkins, Niney The Observer, and Maurice Johnson, and this version pulls together a small but varied line-up that bridges roots and later dancehall updates. Dennis Brown’s Here I Come leads the set, with Dennis Brown and I-Roy returning on Here I Come Again, while I-Roy’s Jah Come Here and the later pairing of Yellowman and Frankie Paul on Here I Come add different eras of the same idea. The tracklist also includes Harry Chapman’s TLC, which keeps the riddim tied to Aquarius in the late-1990s. Maurice Johnson’s Black Scorpio imprint and Niney’s Observer connection both point to a long-running riddim lineage that has moved across generations without losing its original chant-driven feel.
