The Chosen Few
The Chosen Few were a reggae group from Kingston, Jamaica, formed in 1969 and active until the mid-1980s. The Chosen Few evolved from The Federals, with the latter's Franklin Spence and David Scott joined by Noel Brown and Richard McDonald. They initially recorded reggae covers of songs by artists such as Blue Mink and The Delphonics for producer Derrick Harriott. Scott left the group to embark on a solo career as a deejay, to be replaced by Busty Brown, formerly of The Messengers. The line-up changed again, with McDonald being replaced by Errol Brown, the group working with producer Lloyd Charmers and enjoying hits with versions of The Stylistics' "People Make The World Go Round" among others, followed in 1973 by the album Hit After Hit. This was followed in 1975 by Everybody Plays The Fool and in 1976 by the Miami-recorded Night and Day album (aka The Chosen Few In Miami), mixing reggae on one side with soul on the other, and featuring guest performances from members of KC and the Sunshine Band. Their success in the 1970s saw them touring The United States, Canada, and England.
Peter Hunningale
Peter Hunnigale was born in South London on the 12th December 1960 and was to become one of Britain's most formidable Reggae artist of our time. It was clear at a tender age Peter's main interest was in music and being born of Jamaican parentage he was exposed and influenced by music of West Indian culture.
Growing up in Britain meant that Peter was also opened to other genre's in music and with seeing the popular acts of the day performing on Television and hearing the songs on Radio, Peter knew what he wanted to be. There were very few places to nurture musical talents during the 60's so Peter had to wait until secondary school before he would be able to learn basic Guitar chords
and discover other students with the same interests as himself. There were very few places to nurture musical talents during the 60's so Peter had to wait until secondary school before he would be able to learn basic Guitar chords and discover other students with the same interests as himself. It was at secondary school in South London where Peter metFitzroy Blake who would later become the recording engineer for Peter's early hits.
At the end of their academic years Fitzroy took on work as tape operator at De Wolfe Studio in Wardour St. London, whilst Peter continued to learn his craft as a guitarist and both saw further encouragement in the wake of the Lovers Rock phenomena.
Peter's first recordings were at De Wolfe Studio where Fitzroy was given free studio- time on weekends and being in such a privileged circumstance they both were exposed to a professional level of playing and recording music. The first record to be released from that period was a song written by Peter called 'Slipping Away' (circa 1980 LGR records) and was to be the beginning of a long line of hits to follow from this prolific exponent of British Reggae music. 'Dancin Time' was the next release Peter was to appear on teaming up with Raymond Simpson, a much-respected vocalist by many, including Peter. The song was recorded at 'Vibes Corner Studio' the brainchild of Fitzroy and Raymond. Consisting mainly of British local talent, the studio was like a workshop and was an ideal environment for Peter to improve on his skills as a musician and to practice his vocal techniques which was seen as an important factor to any of the in-house productions.
