"b. Garth Evans, c.1944, Jamaica, West Indies, d. 19 October 2000, New York, USA. While vocalist Evans was enjoying success with the Paragons he also recorded the little known solo side ‘I Don’t Care’, at Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One alongside his early collaborator Bob Andy. ... He embarked on a solo career recording sporadic hits, notably with Lloyd Barnes, although by the late 70s Evans was back at Studio One. Dodd released the sublime, ‘How Sweet It Is’, that revitalised the singer’s career. The song proved a false start following the success of Blondie’s cover version of the Paragons’ ‘The Tide Is High’ that resulted in the re-formation of the group for the release of Sly & Robbie Meet The Paragons and Now. ..."
