The Mighty Diamonds 50 Years Strong

Celebrating an amazing
50 years of the Mighty Diamonds
Its been a real pleasure compiling this tribute selection. One of the greatest ever Jamaican harmony groups, definitely in my all time top three. The biggest hits are all here although, having only 2 hours, so many well crucial songs sadly had to be missed out this time. We managed 67 tracks still...


What's your favorite Diamonds track?



The more I've heard them the more I've come to appreciate what a fine vocalist Tabby Diamond really is and how well arranged the harmonies always are, not to mention the lyrics. Over 40 albums and endless touring - an exceptional effort. I got to see the Diamonds live in the 80s, 90s, 2000s & 2010s --- now forward the 2020s!
