Oh Carolina "Oh Carolina" is a 1958 song by John Folkes recorded by the Folkes Brothers in 1960 and by Shaggy in 1993. ==Folkes Brothers version==
The original version of the song was recorded by Jamaican vocal trio the Folkes Brothers (John, Mico, and Junior Folkes), and was produced by Prince Buster at RJR studios in Kingston.〔Thompson, Dave (2002) ''Reggae & Caribbean Music'', Backbeat Books, ISBN 0-87930-655-6, p. 197, 328〕 The song was written by John Folkes in 1958 about his girlfriend (who was actually named Noelena).〔Alleyne, Mike (2012) ''The Encyclopedia of Reggae'', Sterling, ISBN 978-1-4027-8583-2, p. 84〕 The group had met Buster while auditioning at Duke Reid's liquor store and Buster decided that he wanted to record the song.〔Barrow, Steve & Dalton, Peter (2004) ''The Rough Guide to Reggae'', Rough Guides, ISBN 1-84353-329-4, p. 23〕 According to the brothers, Buster paid them £60 for the recording (Buster claims £100).〔 Buster travelled to the Wareika Hills to find a Niyabinghi group to play on a recording session, and brought Count Ossie and his group of drummers (Count Ossie's Afro-Combo) back to the studio, where they played on "Oh Carolina".〔 "Oh Carolina" was a landmark single in the development of Jamaican modern music (ska, rocksteady and reggae) specially for the incorporation of African-influenced Niyabinghi-style drumming and chanting, and for the exposure it gave to the Rastas, who at the time were marginalized in Jamaican society.〔〔Jason Toynbee, ''Bob Marley'', Polity Press, 2007, pp. 121-22.〕 The track's piano riff was performed by Owen Gray.〔 The single was licensed to Blue Beat Records for release in the UK in 1961.〔 The two tracks on the single (The B-side was "I Met a Man") were the only songs recorded by The Folkes Brothers as a trio.〔 Mico and Junior Folkes re-recorded the song without John for the 2011 album ''Don't Leave Me Darling'', the first release credited to the Folkes Brothers since the early 1960s.〔 "Oh Carolina" was later reissued on the Prince Buster label. The song was also recorded in 1973 by Count Ossie, on his album ''Grounation''.
