The Mighty Diamonds

The Mighty Diamonds, was a legendary Jamaican harmony trio recording roots reggae with a strong Rastafarian influence, are one of the most internationally popular reggae groups to emerge from the '70s roots era. Regardless of whether they are singing love songs or protest anthems, the Mighty Diamonds bring a startling emotional commitment to their best material and their debut album, Right Time, still stands as one of roots reggae's all-time classics. On March 29, 2022, their lead singer, Donald "Tabby" Shaw, was shot dead in a drive-by shooting. On April 1, 2022, Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson died. They disbanded shortly afterwards. more »
