Biography
The Melodians sont un groupe de reggae formé dans le quartier de Greenwich Town à Kingston (Jamaïque), en 1965, par Tony Brevett (neveu de Lloyd Brevett des Skatalites), Brent Dowe et Trevor McNaughton. Renford Cogle écrivait et arrangeait certains morceaux.
Ils sont les auteurs du grand tube Rivers of Babylon, repris avec succès par Jimmy Cliff en 1972 sur la bande originale du film The Harder they come, et rendu mondialement célèbre par Boney M en 1978.
