Ya Ho by The Viceroys

Ya Ho shows the best of The Viceroys, with the title track remaining their signature tune. Borrowing their lyrics from the old English ode about "16 men on a deadman's chest," the trio toast the buccaneers of yore with the obligatory "ya ho and a bottle of rum." Set to a sturdy reggae backing, the 1968 Studio One single was a massive hit, one of The Viceroys' biggest from that era.

Wesley Tinglin moved to Kingston when he was 12 years old, quickly soaking up the rich harmonies of vocal groups like the Wailers and the Maytals. He formed the Viceroys with Daniel Bernard and Bunny Gayle and the group earned a recording session in 1967 with producer Clement Dodd.
