Description

Phyllis Dillon, influenced by American singers Connie Francis, Patti Page and Dionne Warwick, began singing in talent contests. It was during a performance at the Glass Bucket Club in Kingston, Jamaica with the group The Vulcans, that Duke Reid's session guitarist Lynn Taitt discovered Dillon. 
Dillon was 22 when she recorded her first record for Duke Reid. In 1967, releasing "Don’t Stay Away". While most of Dillon’s subsequent recordings would be covers of popular and obscure American songs, including Bettye Swann's "Make Me Yours", Perry Como's "Tulips and Heather," The Grass Roots' "Midnight Confessions," and Stephen Stills's "Love the One You're With".
"Don't Stay Away" was an original composition featuring Tommy McCook and the Supersonics as the backing band. Another original song, "It’s Rocking Time" would later be turned into the Alton Ellis' hit "Rocksteady".
