The Paragons are a Jamaican vocal group known for their rocksteady tracks. Originally formed as The Binders, the group consisted of Bob Andy, Garth Evans (aka Tyrone Evans), Junior Menz, and Leroy Stamp. In 1964, John Holt replaced Stamp and Howard Barrett replaced Menz, leading to a name change to The Paragons. After Bob Andy left in 1965, the group continued as a trio.
Following Holt's departure to pursue a solo career, the group collaborated with Roslyn Sweat and later Vic Taylor. This new trio recorded three albums together. In the early 1980s, after Blondie covered their song "The Tide Is High," the classic line-up of Holt/Barrett/Evans reformed briefly before Holt left again after recording with [a5064].
For fans of The Paragons' rocksteady sound, similar artists include The Jamaicans, Derrick Harriott, Derrick Morgan, Hopeton Lewis, Pat Kelly, The Gaylads,and more.
