They recorded for the major Jamaican producers at the time, including Coxsone Dodd of Studio One fame. The Heptones had a number of Jamaican hits for Studio One, including "Pretty Looks Isn't All", "Fattie Fattie" and "I Hold the Handle." They went on to record with Joe Gibbs, Harry J (Harry Johnson), and Rupie Edwards. In 1977, they recorded "Party Time" for Lee Perry, one of Perry's finest productions, which included a version of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released."
Sibbles left the group in 1977 to start a successful solo career. He was replaced by Naggo Morris. After Sibbles left, the group's popularity waned. The original trio reunited in 1995 and released Pressure! produced by Tappa Zukie

Lyrics
I lost my baby but she’s coming back, yeah
She wrote a letter, stated
She needs me badly
And if she comes home
I’ll have a precious time
(Precious time)
My little honey says her new guy treats her badly
It seems to me his pretty looks
He hypnotise her
All i can say
Pretty looks isn’t all
(Isn’t all)
My little honey says she’s going to stay now
I asked her why, she replied
She loves me dearly
She not gonna leave me
Until her dying day
(Dying day)
She’s not gonna leave me
Until her dying day
(Dying day) x2
Beautiful rocksteady classic, memories of summer :)
@emmibadz8518
It’s these songs that make me proud to be Jamaican🇯🇲
@barstuard
If everyone listened to things like this i'm sure the world would be a better place, with better people populating it. I can't imagine anyone acting anything less than "irie" when listening to music like this. It brings on such a positive mindstate. Beautiful, 5 stars.
@msdollydawta
Legendary song! Makes me proud to be a Jamaican 🇯🇲

Outside of Bunny along with Peter, these guys are the greatest harmonizers Jamaica produced. Everybody wanted the Heptones on harmony.
