Roy Panton & Yvonne Harrison's new song "When It's Right"
Roy Panton & Yvonne Harrison's new song "When It's Right" Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae legends Roy Panton & Yvonne Harrison releases their new single "When It's Right". Roy Panton came up at a time in Jamaican music when it was changing from the local R&B to the edgy, harder and shuffling sound of ska. As such he was a pioneer and also a popular act in the early to mid 1960's. As was so popular for a time, he shared vocal duties in duo combinations with other upcoming stars like Millie Small, Cornel Campbell, Patsy Todd and Eric 'Monty' Morris'. But mainly he was a vocalist on his own, having possibly his biggest success with 'Endless Memory'. The list of great recordings is one of those impressive stories of a successful Jamaican music industry and creative flow: 'Mighty Ruler', 'Beware Rudie', Control Your Temper', 'Good Man'; 'Lolita', 'Run Old Man', 'We'll Meet' with Millie, and on and on it goes. But Panton got out of the business too early, he came back briefly and then it seemed he was gone for good forty years ago. Not so. Some years back he was rediscovered, got back to a scene hungry for 'vintage' acts and timeless music, and has made appearances lately in Los Angeles and Mexico, with probably a lot more to come. Thanks to Roy & Yvonne, Carlton Hines, Teacher & Mr T, and Steve Barrow.
