Sitting In The Park Riddim – Studio One, Jackpot

Sitting In The Park produced by Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Striker Lee, Dr. Alimantado, King Jammy for Studio One, Jackpot in 1968

Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One cut on the Sitting In The Park riddim dates to 1968 and later surfaced on the Jackpot side of the label’s catalogue, with Bunny Lee, Dr. Alimantado and King Jammy also tied to the production history in the post notes. Alton Ellis leads the set with Sitting In The Park and the Pt. 2 version, while Hortense Ellis, Slim Smith and Junior Reid all add later takes that extend the riddim across different eras. Dr. Alimantado’s Satta In The Park and Sitting In The Park give it a tougher deejay angle, but the whole package stays anchored in the warm Studio One rocksteady sound that made the tune such a lasting part of the label’s catalog.
