Sunshine Day
1976 · Bronze
Ranked No. 7 in Highlife
Ghanaian and Caribbean musicians in London, making highlife that charted in Britain without diluting the percussion. The diaspora version, and a very good one.

Sunshine Day
1976 · Bronze
Picked by 1976
Ghanaian musicians in London making a record that got played on daytime radio without softening what it was. Included because the traffic went both ways in 1976, and this is the year's best evidence of it.
