The Cimarons were a UK reggae band formed in 1967. They were the UK's first self-contained indigenous reggae band. ==History== Jamaican natives, the Cimarons migrated to Britain in 1967 with a lineup consisting of Franklyn Dunn (bass), Carl Levy (keyboards), Locksley Gichie (guitar), and Maurice Ellis (drums); vocalist, Winston Reid (better known as Winston Reedy) joined in London. They were primarily session musicians in Jamaica, and backed many artists, including Jimmy Cliff. Their first LP ''In Time'', on Trojan Records in 1974 featured a rendition of the O'Jays' "Ship Ahoy", "Utopian Feeling", "Over The Rainbow," and "My Blue Heaven". Vulcan Records released ''On The Rock'' two years later. They switched to Polydor Records, releasing ''Live at The Roundhouse'' in 1978. Polydor released ''Maka'' the same year. Three more albums followed: ''Freedom Street'', ''Reggaebility'' and ''On The Rock Part 2''. After the last of these, in 1983, they didn't surface again until 1995 when Lagoon Records released ''People Say'' and ''Reggae Time'', both compilations of earlier albums, followed by ''The Best of The Cimarons'', released in 1999 on Culture Press. Reedy and Dunn continue to perform as The Cimarons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Cimarons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
