Phyllis Dillon - "Perfidia" (Official Audio)

[@70tezskin]

Superb. Phyllis Dillon was a very very talented lady very underrated. I love this Rocksteady version of Perfidia.. ❤.

[@melodieperkins7080]

Very true

My 22 year old grandson has recommended this to his 87 year old grandfather, I know the song from years ago. But this version really touches a chord in me. Kind regards to all her fans. March, 2023.

[@lisaf938]

You have a cool grandson. I just discovered this version today and I love it. I hope he played you other versions of the song from Glenn Miller to Linda Rondstadt. Kind regards back to you.

You should be proud - (and I would be, if I were you ) of your music - it's always fresh, somehow.

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

For sure, there is no small country that has made such a BIG impact in the musical world... Reggae music is truly international, despite its obscured/misrepresented origins... Whatever kind of music was sang by King David and King Solomon, it was probably closer to Reggae then it was to the horrible crap that horrible people love to consume nowadays.

[@patcarberry429]

Too much push talk, dig the tunes

[@bealmor1963]

I was introduced to Jamaican music through Ub40 and Two Tone but it lead me to find the originals.

[@JasmineSimmons-j3f]

The epitomy of Jamican Reggae talent. The velvet voice of effortless melody. The true essence of pure bred talent.

[@tramp2827]

She was good. I once asked how high could she go and she belted out Pattie LaBelle's "Down the Isle" effortlessly and then laughed at me.

[@janicepowell3071]

Love this lady's voice.i sang this once on a bus and someone asked me if i am Phylis Dillon lol

Lyrics: To you, my heart cries out Perfidia For I found you, the love my life In somebody else's arms Your eyes, are echoing Perfidia Forgetful of the promise of love You're shared another's charms With a sad lament my dreams Are faded like a broken melody While the Gods of love look down and laugh At what romantic fools, we mortals be And now, I know my love was not for you And so I'll take it back with a sigh Perfidia's one goodbye Sock it to me, baby With a sad lament my dreams Have faded like a broken melody While the Gods of love look down and laugh At what romantic fools, we mortals be And now, I know my love was not for you And so I'll take it back with a sigh Perfidia's one goodbye Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye

Phyllis is one of the most underrated singers in the XXth Century

[@leonleiffer1915]

PHYLLIS DILLON one of the great singing SENSATION of her time and was highly respected by all entertainer and had a huge influence on singer's that followed, she also had all of JAMAICA and other places falling in love with her beautiful enchanting voice, she was NEVER underrated at anytime, What I can say to many, in those day's don't CARE how good or great she or he was, when it comes the main stream media BLACK MUSIC HARDLY GET ANY ATTENTION ESPECIALLY SKA, ROCKSTEADY, REGGAE, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO RESPECT THESES FOUNDATION ICONS SINGERS LIKE DESMOND DEKKER AND THE ACES, JIMMY CLIFF, MILLE SMALL SKATALITES, PRINCE BUSTER, THE PIONEERS, THE EARLY GREATS THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL THAT FOLLOWS, RIEP TO THOSE WHO HAVE GONE , THE BLACKSTONES

Perfect song... Pride of Chiapas (Mexico) is the author, Alberto Domínguez, originally from San Cristóbal de Las Casas where there is an auditorium with his name.

[@stephenmcguire7801]

He also wrote the huge hit "Frenesi" in the same year he wrote "Perfidia." Artie Shaw recorded Frenesi in 1939-40. Loved it as a kid in the 1960s. Incidentally, Frenesi was arranged for Shaw by William Grant Still, the great African-American classical composer (moonlighting?).

Never gets old Timeless Classic.

[@WiEar]

And Rocksteady it will be once more, even though it is quite speedy, almost Ska tempo, this time … guided by that heavenly soul-voice of Phyllis! Her voice is something special, hard to describe. It has the vulnerability of an innocent child in it, the clarity of a cloudless sky, a high level of openness to whatever experience may bring; whatever vistas may be disclosed. It’s almost terrifying in its fragility, with a translucent body … like bone china … thin, seemingly brittle and yet strong. I want to keep listening to it and once finished, it feels like saying good-bye to a good friend who will emigrate to the other side of the world … 😣

Such a wonderful voice. I was going to make myself a Phyllis Dillon Tshirt but there only seem to be 4 photographs of her in existence. A Google search gives you the usual 3 or 4 photos, then photos of Marcia Griffiths, Marcia Aitken, Susan Cadogan all labelled as Phyllis Dillon. Cheers Google. What a fool I would have looked with a Tshirt of Marcia Griffiths saying Phyllis Dillon. RIP Sweet Daddy URoy

[@noelsalisbury7448]

How did you go on with your classic T-shirt ? One idea you've probably already thought of is to buy an official (just so you know it's definitely her) vinyl album of hers ( if you've no turntable sell it on asap LOL ! ) - and make a high quality photocopy etc etc
