2012 collection from the Reggae greats. In the wake of Bob Marley's
passing in 1981, harmony trio Black Uhuru became the undisputed
leaders of Roots Reggae in Jamaica and beyond. Originally formed by
Derrick `Duckie' Simpson in the early '70s, it was not until the
group's collaborations with Riddim Twins, Sly & Robbie, that
their music finally received international acclaim. Although their
Island singles proved a little too strident for non-Jamaican chart
action, the group's albums attracted widespread acclaim, with the
Anthem collection winning a Grammy for the best Reggae album of
1985. Guess Who's Coming To Dinner brings together Black Uhuru's
most important works for Island, along with their two UK chart
hits, `What Is Life' and `The Great Train Robbery', culminating in
the most essential single CD set of their work ever compiled.
