Cornell Campbell

Cornell Campbell is a Jamaican reggae artist, born 23 November 1945 in Kingston, Jamaica. He got his start in the early 1960s at Studio One. In 1966, after the duet The Bell Stars (with George), he formed The Sensations with Aaron Davis, Jimmy Riley and Buster Riley with which he recorded ska and rocksteady tracks for Treasure Isle, Bunny Lee and Winston Riley. After leaving The Sensations, Cornel was briefly in The Uniques (without recording with them at the time) and then formed his own group called The Eternals (which became Cornell Campbell & The Eternals) who recorded for Studio One and Harry Mudie before splitting in 1971. From 1972 to 1978, Cornel Campbell recorded as a solo artist for Bunny Lee and then joined Jimmy Riley in the next version of The Uniques. Cornel sings in a falsetto style and made his mark as a lovers rock singer (although he did record a string of rasta hits in the mid 70s).
