The song “The Tide Is High” is best known as a huge hit for Blondie, but originally it was a hit for the Paragons in the ‘60s. Formed in Kingston, Jamaica, the Paragons originally started out as a vocal group heavily influenced by American Soul music. After John Holt joined the group and became its leader they softened their soulful sound and went for a more root-heavy, Rocksteady approach. With success; the Paragons became the most popular Rocksteady vocal act in Jamaica and in Britain. Money problems eventually led to the band’s breakup but the Paragons recordings  are still some of the most wonderful and sublime moments in Jamaican Pop.
