"Barry Biggs was a balladeer with a distinctive falsetto voice. He scored a UK top three hit with Sideshow and had five minor UK hits, of which Three ring circus was the most successful - it just missed the top twenty. The others are Work all day, You are my life, What's your sign girl and Wide awake in a dream.



All of Barry's UK hits are here together with Barry's covers of other pop including Love goes where my Rosemary goes (Edison Lighthouse), Reflections of my life (Marmalade), My Cherie amour (Stevie Wonder) and Have you seen her (Chi-Lites).



Barry had many number one hits in his native Jamaica and they are all here, but he only made a limited impact in the UK and I'm not sure if he made it in America at all. Still, I enjoy his brand of mellow reggae music and I've not come across any other singer quite like him."
