The Viceroys Tribute w/ Undercover


With the recent passing of Wesley Tinglin (RIP), I thought I would do a little tribute to The ViceroysThe Viceroys, also known as The Voice RoysThe InternsThe Brothers, and The Hot Tops. Forming in 1967 and initially recording a few singles for Coxsone they spread their wings in the late 60s and early 70s recording some killer boss rocksteady with the likes Derrick Morgan, Winston Riley and Lloyd Daley. 
In what seems like a hiatus, in the mid 70s they came back again in 1978 (with new members including Norris Reid) with their first album 'Consider Yourself' recording with Phill Prat under their The Interns name.
Come 1980 they dropped their massive 'Heart Made of Stone' with Sly and Robbie which was the beginning of their new 'round' rub a dub sound, teaming up with Roots Radics and Linval Thompson for their 1982 classic 'We Must Unite'. A slew of these tunes where taken by Scientist and dubbed out on his classic dub LP Dub Landing.
Two more albums followed in 83 (Brethren And Sistren, produced again by Linval Thompson) and 84 (Chancery Lane, produced by Winston Riley) before the group disbanded while recording a fourth album, which was to surface in 2004 titled 'Love Is All'. 
Wesley Tinglin reformed the group in 2006 to record a live album in Iroko's Inna De Yard series, covering their classics to new effect.
From rocksteady to roots to rub a dub and early dancehall ,The Viceroys spanned it all. Massive props and blessings.

  2. A popular method of buying gold is in the form of coins. In the U.S, you can purchase the Amercan Eagle, American Buffalo and St. Gauden's. These can be easily kept in your safe at home or in your safe deposit box at the bank. These are fun to look at and they hold their value well.satta king play bazaar
