Music video description
"Sun of Jamaica" is a song from the repertoire of the German Goombay Dance Band. The song was written by Ekkehard Stein and Wolfgang Jass. The single was released at the end of 1979, and a short while later was included on the group's debut studio album of the same name.
The lyrics of the hit song "Sun of Jamaica" tell the story of the narrator's desire after watching the movie "Mutiny on the Bounty." The man dreams of traveling to a hot country. The text also includes a mention of the famous actor Marlon Brando. The song has been a great success throughout Europe, reaching No. 1 on the charts in many countries. The Goobay Dance Band itself recorded the song many times in the later years of its career, in different sound versions. However, it is their only worldwide hit, which is why I am placing this song in the category of one-hit stars.
