The Jamaicans

The Jamaicans were a Jamaican rocksteady vocal group formed in 1967 and disbanded in 1972. Mostly known for the songs "Ba Ba Boom" (that won the Island's Festival Song Contest in 1967) and "Things You Say You Love" produced by Arthur "Duke" Reid for Treasure Isle. The Jamaicans (Tommy Cowan, Norris Weir, Martin Williams) burst on the scene in 1967 by winning the second Jamaican Festival song contest with a bit of nonsensical rocksteady called "Ba Ba Boom," a piece that had been written by Cowan and Weir.
