BOB ANDY AND MARCIA GRIFFITHS YOUNG GIFTED AND BLACK Limited Numbered Orange 180gram Vinyl LP
Overview:
Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths achieved international fame with their rendition of Nina Simone’s “Young, Gifted and Black.” The song resonated deeply with audiences in the UK, selling over half a million copies and earning Bob & Marcia a place on Top of the Pops. The song reached the number #5 spot in the UK charts.
This album is packed with classic tracks & cover versions - gems like "It Ain't Me Babe" , "Keep The Customers Satisfied" & "Put a Little Love in Your Heart".
Their popularity soared, and the duo continued with hits like “Pied Piper,” bringing reggae to European audiences during a time when the genre was still emerging on the global stage. Their success was not just commercial but symbolic, as they inspired pride and cultural appreciation among Jamaican communities worldwide.
Young, Gifted And Black is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on orange coloured vinyl.
