The Mighty Diamonds, Donald “Tabby” Shaw, Fitzroy ”Bunny” Simpson and Lloyd “Judge” Ferguson formed in 1969 in the Trenchtown area of Kingston, Jamaica.

For the past 32 years they have been entertaining and educating the world with their sweet harmonies and conscious lyrics of unity, love and at times, rebellion in the face of injustice.They quickly became known as the young group with the Motown sound with their soulful harmonies and polished performances.

Their first hit singles “Country Living” and “Hey Girl” were recorded on the Channel One label. Two of their greatest songs are "Go Seek Your Rights" and "I Need A Roof" both from the mid 1970s. They are best-known for their 1976 debut album Right Time produced by Joseph Hoo Kim and in 1979 release Deeper Roots. “Pass the Kouchie” also became an international hit when first released and then again when it was covered by the “Musical Youth” and released as “Pass the Dutchie”.

The Mighty Diamonds remained together for 32 years and counting, by finding strength and inspiration in their faith and their love of Jah, despite the ever-changing and cutthroat music business. Information gathered from www.mightydiamonds.com
