Simmer Down
"Simmer Down" was the first single released by The Wailers, accompanied by the ska supergroup, The Skatalites, and produced by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd in 1963. It was the number one hit in Jamaica in February, 1964. The song was directed to the "Rude Boys" of the ghettos of Jamaica at the time, sending them a message to cool down or "Simmer Down" with all the violence and crime going on in Kingston. The subject matter of "Simmer Down" made The Wailers stand out amongst their contemporaries. The Wailers at this time contained Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Junior Braithwaite, Cherry Smith and Beverley Kelso. It was Bob Marley's first hit and his career as a song writer and performer took off from there. Although "Simmer Down" was a hit, Peter Tosh, one of the three original Wailers, has said in an interview that he hated it.〔(''Caribbean Nights'': A BBC documentary ). Polygram Video, 1991〕 The song was later covered by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones for their EP ''Ska-Core, the Devil, and More'', as well as by The Specials for their cover album ''Today's Specials''. ==References==
