The Mighty Diamonds Honored for 40 Years of Achievements

On Sunday November 1, 2009, TSO Productions and the Coalition to Preserve Reggae Music held their 5th annual Reggae Culture Salute at Nazareth High School Performance Center, Brooklyn, New York. It was a very special event in celebration of the 79th Anniversary of the coronation of Haile Selassie the First and Empress Mennen of Ethiopia. The highlight of the evening was a tribute to Mighty Diamonds, who are celebrating 40 years as a group; the same three members standing strong after 40 years. They received three very prestigious accolades and awards, as follows:

1. They received a Citation from Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough President.
2. They received the first ever Award for Excellence from TSO Productions and the Coalition to Preserve Reggae Music.
3. They received a Congressional Proclamation from Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, of the 11th Congressional District in Brooklyn, New York.

Congratulations to the Mighty Diamonds. Keep going strong.

Major Confrats to these legendary brothers! I still remember first hearing them on WLIB-AM back in the day...

I remember going to a now-defunct record shop (no thanks to the major blackout in July 13, 1979) on Utica Ave and Mongomery St. I looked for earlier recordings by them. 45's like 'Country Living' and 'Back Weh' were grabbed up by myself, and are STILL in my collection.

Again, major congratulations and 'Have Mercy'
