Truly produced by Coxsone Dodd, Edmond Brooks, Jah Lloyd, Henry Lawes, King Jammy for Supreme, Volcano, Jammy’s in 1968
Anchored by Marcia Griffiths’ 1968 cut Truly, this Supreme riddim comes from Coxsone Dodd’s classic rocksteady-era catalog and later picked up new life through versions by Jah Lloyd, Michael Prophet, Michigan and Smiley, and several 1992 dancehall entries. The tune’s long run across decades is part of what makes it interesting: the same foundation moved from Griffiths’ original sweet vocal style into tougher deejay and digital-era interpretations, including Alton Black, Anthony Red Rose, Dennis Brown, and Garnett Silk on Fill Us Up With Your Mercy. Supreme and Coxsone Dodd were central names in that early Studio One sound, and Truly sits neatly among the label’s enduring late-’60s lovers rock and rocksteady sides.
