BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…
These songs are well known
but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with
prior versions of the same song.
Oh Carolina
Shaggy's breakthrough came via the single "Oh Carolina". This debut single was issued in 1993. The disc topped the British chart and went Top 5 in some European nations and in New Zealand. The Jamaican-born artist's recording was a remake.
In 1958, the original version was released in 1958 by the Jamaican trio The Folkes Brothers (sometimes spelt Folks). Shaggy's cover proved to be significantly more successful.
Each new song will be added to the
