PRODUCER: Byron Lee
From allmusic.com:
Reggae artist Eric Donaldson was born in Kent Village, Jamaica, on
June 11, 1947, and launched his music career in 1964 when he recorded some
tracks for Studio One in Kingston, which have remained unreleased. Shortly
thereafter, Donaldson formed the vocal outfit the West Indians along with
Leslie Burke and Hector Brooks. The group hooked up with producer
J.J. Johnson, who helped guide the group to a hit in 1968, "Right on Time,"
before recording for Lee Perry a year later; they changed their name to
the Killowatts shortly thereafter. But the name change failed to ignite
the group's career and they eventually split up after such obscure
releases as Slot Machine and Real Cool Operator. Donaldson decided to
continue to pursue music on his own, which led to him submitting an
original composition, "Cherry Oh Baby," to the Festival Song Competition
in 1971. The song took the top spot at the competition, eventually being
issued as single and becoming a local hit. The song would reach a wider
audience when it was covered by rock artists, including the Rolling Stones
(on their 1976 Black and Blue release) and UB40 (1983's Labour of Love).
Donaldson continued to issue albums ù including such releases as Miserable
Woman (1972), What a Festival (1973), and Freedom Street (1977) ù among
others, and has taken the top spot at subsequent Festival Song
Competition's as well in 1977, 1978, 1984, and 1993. Donaldson runs the
Cherry Oh Baby Go-Go Bar in his hometown of Kent Village.
