Harry J’s 1970 Young Gifted And Black riddim brings together a small but strong set of versions from Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths, Prince Buster, The Heptones and dub cuts tied to the same tune. The title track is the best-known hook here, and it came out of the same era when Bob and Marcia’s reggae cover of Nina Simone’s Young, Gifted and Black became a major hit and helped push the song onto the UK charts. Prince Buster’s Blacker Black Version adds his usual tough edge, while Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One link gives the riddim an extra classic Kingston weight.
