He crossed over again into the UK national charts with The Pioneers’ “Long Shot Kick De Bucket”, The Melodians’ “Sweet Sensation” and “Rivers Of Babylon”, and The Maytals’ “Monkey Man”. Only few producers came near to matching Beverley’s in terms of hit records, of which many were huge international successes.
