Joy In The Morning produced by Coxsone Dodd, Errol Thompson, King Jammy, Freddie McGregor for Studio One, Errol T, Big Ship in 1967
Produced by Coxsone Dodd at Studio One and later linked here with Errol T and Big Ship, Joy In The Morning pulls together a cross-generation line-up that includes Alton Ellis and The Gaylads, Dennis Brown, Bobby Melody, and Freddie McGregor with Papa San. The title cut sits alongside Joy In The Morning versions from Alton Ellis, Dennis Brown, and The Gaylads, while Bobby Melody’s Bring I Joy adds a different lift to the set. Rooted in the late-1960s Studio One era, the riddim carries that unmistakable rocksteady-to-reggae feel that made the label such a deep part of Jamaican music history, with McGregor’s involvement tying the classic material back to a later Big Ship connection.
