Marcia Griffiths - Dreamland

Order Now: Trojan.lnk.to/EAC
Trojan Records is proud to announce The Essential Artist Collection, a brand new series of artist-focused compilation albums showcasing some of the very best talent from the label’s esteemed roster. Championing their stellar catalogues, the series will highlight the most important ska and reggae tracks from the most influential artists and vocal/instrumental groups with each title available on double colour vinyl, double CD and digital formats.
Arguably the greatest female singer in the history of Jamaican music, Marcia Griffiths first made her mark on the Jamaican music scene with a number of popular singles during the late Sixties, before finding international fame in 1970 alongside her long-term friend and sometime collaborator, Bob Andy. Bob & Marcia’s uplifting reggae version of Nina Simone’s inspiring song ‘(To Be) Young, Gifted & Black’ hit number 5 in the UK pop chart, with the single proving to be the first of two British chartbusters, with their exuberant interpretation of Pied Piper’ just missing out on a Top 10 placing the following year. Soon after, Marcia became a member of Bob Marley’s famed backing group, the I-Threes, while also continuing to enjoy solo success with numerous Jamaican hits for a variety of record producers throughout the remainder of the Seventies and well beyond.

[@pizzapartyy8692]

There's a land that I, have heard about
So far across, the sea
There's a land that I, have heard about
So far across, the sea
To have, you on my dreamland
Would be like, heaven to me
To have you on my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me
We'll live, together, on that dreamland
And we'll have so much fun
We'll live together, on that dreamland
And we'll have so much fun
We'll get our breakfast from the trees
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
We'll count the stars in the sky
And surely we'll never die
And surely we'll never die
And surely we'll never die
Oh, what a time, that will be
Oh just, you wait, wait, wait and see
And surely, we'll never die
And surely, we'll never die...
