This Ska compilation from 1964 was produced in the United States for Epic records by the legendary Soul music artist, Curtis Mayfield.
The back cover of this album is worth a read as it describes “The Ska” as one of the newest dance crazes and reports Jimmy Cliff demonstrating Ska at the 1964 NY World’s Fair.
