Horace Faith 'Black Pearl' (Official Audio)

Official audio for Horace Faith's sublime reggae version of the Sonny James & the Checkmates Ltd.'s pop hit. One of the most overlooked performers to emerge as a star during the reggae explosion of the late Sixties, Horace Faith began his music career in Jamaica in the early 1960s, fronting his R&B band, the Prophets and cutting a 1965 single that for Neville Foo-Loy’s Top Hat label. in 1967, he moved to London, where he made a name on the club circuit, prior to attending his first recording sessions in the capital in two years later. After backing a number of Trojan artists in the studio, he recorded a lively version of the Blood, Sweat & Tears hit, ‘Spinning Wheel’, which saw release on the B&C label in the summer of 1969. Soon after, he made his first solo reggae recording – a fine version of Shep & the Limelites’ doo wop hit, ‘Daddy's Home’ that sneaked out on a B-side Dandy’s Down Town label at the close of 1969. The following year, he was spotted and signed up by Phillip Swern and Johnny Arthey, who had him record a number of songs, including the breezy ‘Help Me Help Myself’ and a stirring reggae version of ‘Black Pearl’, a song popularised the previous year by US soul band, Sonny Charles & Checkmates Ltd. The latter quickly picked up radio play and by the autumn of 1970 was comfortably sitting at number 13 in the UK pop charts.
