Natural High "Prettiest Girl" (rare classic)

Natural High, made a mark with a cover of Luther Ingram's 1972 hit, (If Loving You is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right. Many Jamaicans thought they were a "foreign" group because of the quality of their vocals. Errol Lingo, who hails from Ocho Rios, and Michael Curah, a Kingstonian living in Ocho Rios at the time, got together in the late 1970s and formed the group Natural High. They later invited Roderick Williams and Michael Thomas to join. The quartet started doing cabaret shows especially on the north coast and hit the big times in the early '80s with their first release, "If Loving You is Wrong". They entered the festival song competition on two occasions. In the first year, they won the ballad section (with the entry Prettiest Love Song), a year when Stanley and the Turbines won. That year they had different categories. Then they entered again with a song called Jamaica, it was the year Ras Karbi won with Jamaica I'll Never Leave You Again. They were in the top 10. Onstage, Natural High peaked when they opened for international acts like Millie Jackson when she performed in Jamaica in the '80s. The success of If Loving You is Wrong led to the group's debut album, Bridging The Gap. However, the bright future that was anticipated did not materialise, and the group later disbanded and a new group emerged. Of the original members of the group, only Lingo still resides in Jamaica.
