It Must Be Him
Dawn Penn · 1967Recording
Dawn Penn recorded the track in Jamaica during her 1960s rocksteady era, with Boris Gardiner producing the session. It was later included on the Vintage 2 collection and circulated in subsequent compilations. The song showed Penn working outside her best-known material, turning a Vikki Carr pop hit into a Jamaican reggae reading. It stands as part of her early body of work for the local scene before her later international breakthrough. The recording remains a notable deep cut in Dawn Penn’s catalog and appears on archival compilations and streaming releases. It helps document the range of her 1960s recordings beyond her signature hit.
