Search - Bob & Marcia :: Young Gifted & Black

Digitally remastered edition of this 1970 album from Reggae Queen Marcia Griffiths, a collaboration with Bob Andy. Produced by Harry J and featuring the title track `Young Gifted and Black', Bob and Marcia's version of Nina Simone's classic, which was a smash hit across Europe reaching #5 in the UK charts. Marcia Griffiths is arguably the biggest female star in the history of Reggae music. Scoring her first hit in 1969, Griffith remained a consistent presence on the Reggae charts, keeping up with the music's evolving sound and image. In 1974, Griffith joined Bob Marley & The Wailers as a member of the female backing trio the I-3s, and in 1989 she scored a huge hit with 'Electric Boogie', the song that inspired the Electric Slide dance craze.
