You Make Me So Happy produced by Coxsone Dodd, Mafia, Fluxy, Duke Reid, Sonia Pottinger for Studio One, Ruff Grooves, Coxsone, Treasure Isle, High Note in 1970
You Make Me So Happy Riddim – Various Labels pulls together a small but telling set of cuts from 1970, with production tied to Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid, Sonia Pottinger, and Mafia and Fluxy across Studio One, Coxsone, Treasure Isle, High Note, and Ruff Grooves. Alton Ellis leads the way with both You Made Me So Happy and You Make Me So Happy, while the later 1977 version with Ranking Trevor and The Revolutionaries adds a more rootsy edge to the same melody. Doreen Shaffer’s Mr Heartbreaker and the Fluxy cut round out the lineup, giving the riddim a mix of classic ska-to-reggae voices and later revisits that help define its identity.
