Reggae Nights

R&B vocal group arrived in 1990 with a slew of smash hits characterized by a mix of reminiscent and contemporary elements, including impeccable harmonies. Collection includes: Born to Sing (1990); Funky Divas (1992); EV3 (1997); Masterpiece Theatre (2000); The Gift of Christmas (2002); Soul Flower (2004).

2022 release, the first new music from the band in nearly 30 years. Starting in 1965, The Cowsills was composed of six siblings, performing their instruments and singing those glorious harmonies as only families can. Originally starting as a regional act (from Newport, Rhode Island), the group was "founded" by Joda Records owners Danny Sims and reggae/pop singer Johnny Nash ("I Can See Clearly Now") in the mid-'60s for whom they recorded a handful of singles before turning towards more national recognition when they were signed to MGM Records in 1967. At this point, the group's mother Barbara and young sister Susan joined the act and they were awarded a Gold record for over one million copies sold of their very first single for MGM, the sublime, "The Rain, The Park & Other Things." This began a series of chart records that dominated the Top 40 for the next three years.

NOW Music will next month head back to the 1970s to issue Yearbook ’76 as a 4CD set and 3LP coloured vinyl package.

In Guadeloupe, many people think that jazz and ka music are like a ring and a finger. To some extent, the same could be said about so called Latin music and the music played in the French West Indies. Both aesthetics were born in the Caribbean and bear so many connections that they can easily be considered cousins. In constant dialogue, there are lots of examples of their fruitful alliance and have been for a while. The English country dance that used to be practiced in European lounges came to be called kadrille in Martinique and contradanza in Cuba. They both featured additional percussion instruments inherited from the transatlantic deportation. Drawing from shared feelings about the same traumatized identity – later to be creolized – it would be hard not to assume that they were meant to inspire each other.

The Best Seventies Album contains the defining tracks of the decade and features some of the biggest hits from artists including T. Rex, Mott The Hoople, Sweet, The Jacksons, David Essex, Earth, Wind & Fire with The Emotions, Nilsson, Eric Carmen, Baccara and many more.

Frankly, Bermuda is predictable, and its regular visitors wouldn’t have it any other way. The tiny island chain has attracted vacationers for decades, and there aren’t many secrets left to uncover. But those sandy pink beaches remain just as inviting as ever, no matter how many times you return.
Even some diehard fans compare Bermuda to certain beauty queens, beautiful but dull. We prefer to think of it as “tranquil.” If you’re looking for exotic local color or sizzling rum and reggae-filled nights, look farther south to the Caribbean. But if you need to escape the stress and strain of daily life, go to Bermuda.
