Various Artist - Rocksteady Taking Over Orange Street. Manufacturers, suppliers and others provide what you see here, and we have not verified it. See our disclaimer. Rocksteady took over Orange Street, Kingston, Jamaica around 1966, the same time that an extreme heat wave hit the Jamaican Island. Some say the previous jerky ska rhythms proved too strenuous of an activity to partake in during the all night sound systems, so it proved a winning formula to slow the beat down to a more leisurely pace.

The seriously sought after compilation "Dancing Down Orange Street" traces the development of the shift from rocksteady to reggae. The album features three rocksteady tracks backed by Lynn Taitt & The Jets and nine (then) innovative reggae tracks backed by Mrs Sonia Pottinger’s ever inventive and influential Soul Rhythms house band. Big singer Delano Stewart (before establishing himself as a solo artist a member of the duo Winston & Bibby and the vocal trio The Gaylads) opens this set with the 1968 released beautiful conscious single That’s Life, wich was backed by the just as good lovers tune Tell Me Baby, also included on this set.
