Back in 1968, Bob Andy joined forces with Marcia Griffiths to record a reggae take on Nina Simone’s anthem ‘(To Be) Young, Gifted & Black’. A celebration of Black pride and empowerment, the track became a worldwide success, climbing to number 5 in the UK charts in 1970.

'Awop-bop-aloobop alop-bam-boom!': Why Little Richard's hit song Tutti Frutti was so risqué When the single was released in 1955, it was a big hit – but only after the original lyrics were changed. In 1972, the singer told the BBC that "there's nothing bad" about his music.
