Although the manifest talents of Boris Gardiner have beat at the heart of reggae music from its early beginnings he still remains relatively unsung, despite contributing far more to the music than many other more celebrated ‘stars’. Boris remined hugely in demand as both a singer and bass player throughout the 1970s, performing on array of recordings by almost every major producer on the island of Jamaica. His greatest successes came in the mid-eighties when his romantic reggae ballad, ‘I Want To Wake Up With You’ stormed to the top of the charts, both in the UK, with its success repeated in a number of countries around the globe.
