The Mighty Vikings is (they still play even though not in the original formation) a five-decade-old band from Kingston, Jamaica. Often having over 15 members (and big guns such as Derrick Harriott, Lester Sterling and Jackie Mittoo) in its formation, the band played around in Jamaica until they made their first international tour in 1964 - in the same year they won the RJR Radio popularity contest in Jamaica, which led to the recording of this celebration album.
