The Paragons

Reggae
ReggaeSka

The Paragons is a Reggae and Ska act. Their sound grew out of Garnet Mimms and Dobby Dobson. Those roots explain a lot about how The Paragons arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Techniques, Derrick Morgan, The Ethiopians, The Jamaicans and Derrick Harriott, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bob Marley, Errol Dunkley, Dr. Alimantado, Wayne Wade and Blondie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around The Paragons, reaching back through Garnet Mimms and forward to Bob Marley.
