The Jamaican Sonia Pottinger was once called "The most important Jamaican woman involved in music business". Dancing Down Orange Street
is a collection of some of her famous productions for different
artists. The album captures the moment when Rocksteady transformed into
Reggae by speeding up a little and moving towards a more jerky and less
smooth musical palette. Famous singers as Delano Stewart and Ken Boothe
are present on the album with multiple tracks. The vocal trio The
Melodians (known for their hit Rivers of Babylon) provide a couple of
beutifull songs. Even after all those years (released for the first time
in 1969) the compilation remains a treasure of showcasing some of the
finest songs produced by Sonia.
Sonia Pottinger was married to
music producer Lyndon Pottinger and started to record musicians in 1996.
During the late 60's she produced songs for Joe White, The Melodians
and Toots & the Maytals.
