Blue Beat 4 - Jiving Juniors - Dearest Darling

The Jiving Juniors were a Jamaican rhythm and blues quartet who recorded for Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid and Edward Seaga. One of the group's members was Derrick Harriott who, following the group's split in 1962, went on to a successful career as a solo artist and producer, making ska, rock steady and reggae records. The Jiving Juniors' cover of Jackie and The Starlites' 'Valerie' can be found elsewhere on this channel.

What a tune this is!

[EagerBoy59]

Yes, I don't think (and I may be wrong) that it even got issued in the States, being released only in Jamaica and the U.K. (where mainly people of Caribbean descent and proto-mods bought Blue Beat 45s). I'm not even sure that it has appeared on compilation LPs or CDs since then.
