The Melodians

Rivers of Babylon

£14.99

Released: 3rd July 2026. In the early weeks of 1970, The Melodians joined the still small and select band of Jamaican acts to achieve international success when their lilting 'Sweet Sensation' made the British Top 50. The vocal trio, comprising Brent Dowe, Trevor McNaughton and Tony Brevett, had been a major force on their native island's music scene since the dawn of the rocksteady era and continued to achieve significant success well into the mid-seventies.
