The Sensations were a Jamaican vocal harmony quartet closely tied to similar groups
the Techniques and
the Uniques. The nascent version of
the Sensations included singers Cornel Campbell,
Jimmy Riley, Buster Riley, and
Bobby (Aaron) Davis, although the makeup of the group was fairly fluid. They scored early hits in the 1960s for
Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label, including the classic "Every Day Is a Holiday" and a cover of
the Supremes' "Baby Love." By the time of one of their later hits, "Warrior," the lineup consisted of
Johnny Osbourne, Jackie Parris, Buster Riley, and
Bobby Davis. Essentially a rotating group of interlinked Jamaican session singers,
the Sensations were solidly professional, and on the strength of "Every Day Is a Holiday" alone, deserve to be better known.
