“Truth is that I have no words for this song.. It just blows my mind away!!...Tommy McCook (3 March 1927 – 5 May 1998) was a Jamaican saxophonist. A founding member of The Skatalites, he also directed The Supersonics for Duke Reid, and backed many sessions for Bunny Lee or with The Revolutionaries at Channel One Studios in the 1970s. McCook was born in Havana, Cuba, moved to Jamaica in 1933 and took up the tenor saxophone at the age of eleven. During the 1960s and 1970s McCook recorded with the majority of prominent reggae, ska & rocksteady artists of the era, working particularly with producer Bunny Lee and his house band, The Aggrovators, as well as being featured prominently in the recordings of Yabby You and the Prophets, all while still performing and recording with the variety of line ups under the Skatalites name.
