The Mighty Diamonds, Donald "Tabby" Shaw, Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson and Lloyd "Judge" Ferguson formed in 1969 in the Trenchtown area of Kingston, Jamaica and for the past 40 years have been entertaining and educating the world with their sweet harmonies and conscious lyrics.

They quickly became known as the young group with the Motown sound with their soulful harmonies and polished performances. Their first hit singles Country Living and Hey Girl were recorded on the Channel One label. Their debut album Right Time, released on the Virgin has become a classic. This is an album that belongs in every serious reggae collection. Right Time is probably their most requested song when they perform.

Pass the Kouchie also became an international hit when first released and then again when it was covered by the Musical Youth and released as Pass the Dutchie.
