16141 fans

Recordados cariñosamente sobre todo por su clásico single "The Tide Is High" -que más tarde se convirtió en un enorme éxito internacional para Blondie y, más tarde, para Atomic Kitten-, el grupo jamaicano de rocksteady The Paragons captó las dulces armonías vocales bañadas por el sol de la isla e influyó en artistas de la talla de Massive Attack, UB40 y The Specials.

Bob Andy, Tyrone Evans, John Holt y Howard Barrett, que empezaron como un joven grupo de doo-wop llamado The Binders, se reunieron en 1964 y empezaron intentando imitar el sonido de la música soul y R&B estadounidense. Sus melodías románticas y tranquilizadoras se convirtieron en algo más distintivo durante las sesiones de grabación para el legendario productor Coxsone Dodd, y consiguieron éxitos nacionales con los singles "In Love at Last", "Follow Me" y "Play Girl", mientras actuaban en clubes y hoteles. Andy se marchó en 1966 para seguir una exitosa carrera en solitario, pero como trío entraron en su periodo de mayor éxito con el álbum "On the Beach", que produjo temas emblemáticos como "Only a Smile" y "Wear You to the Ball". También encabezaron las listas jamaicanas con "My Best Girl" y "Silver Bird", pero como las tendencias se decantaron por la música reggae, el trabajo posterior del grupo con la vocalista femenina Roslyn Sweat no cuajó.

Holt se convirtió en una gran estrella en solitario, pero el grupo volvió a reunirse ocasionalmente de una forma u otra a lo largo de los años, por ejemplo para trabajar con el artista albino de dancehall Yellowman en un álbum en 2002. Sin embargo, su influencia y reputación siguieron siendo vitales gracias a gente como Horace Andy, Dennis Brown y Gregory Isaacs, que grabaron sus canciones. En 1980, Blondie encabezó las listas de éxitos de Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido con su versión de "The Tide Is High". El grupo de chicas inglés Atomic Kitten volvió a llevar la canción al número uno en el Reino Unido en 2002, y el rapero canadiense Kardinal Offishall versionó el tema en 2008 con la voz de Keri Hilson.
