AN ORIGINAL 1976 JAMAICAN VINYL ISSUE LP IN STEREO
RED & WHITE LABEL DESIGN
Cynthia started her career in 1972 when Audrey Riley, one of her best friends at the Jamaica Telephone Company where she worked, tricked her into auditioning for the Merritone Amateur Talent series that was showcased at the Glass Bucket Club weekly. She was not only impressive in her audition but became a favorite with the promoter and other panelists who liked her professional approach to everything she was asked to do.
Cynthia was most comfortable being herself. She possessed a quality uncommon to average singers, this is the ability to express lyrics effortlessly, with clarity, enunciate smoothly and passionately. Cynthia possessed that rare quality, her sound was unique, individual, a mixture of melodic intonations, effortless phrasing and casual discipline. Having been in the business professionally for 27 years. She believed in quality and proper marketing and would not compromise her standards, perhaps that is the reason Cynthia had only three major producers over the years, husband, Winston “Merritone” Blake, Willie Lindo and Junior Gray. Cynthia recorded only five albums, her first “Ready and Waiting” was an instant hit creating rave reviews in London and at home,Side B
