“Tomorrow People” appears on Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers’ third album, Conscious Party, which won a Grammy for Best Reggae album in 1989. Talking Heads’ Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth produced the record; Weymouth also provided background vocals and Heads’ Jerry Harrison played organ. “Tomorrow People” peaked at #39 on the US charts and VH1 rated it at #85 on its Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 80′s (even though a second single from Conscious Party, “Tumblin’ Down,” also charted in ‘88). I’m not sure that I ever heard “Tomorrow People” on the radio in ‘88 but I heard the song a lot that year because my friend Jim included it on a truly bizarre mix tape which featured, among others, Peter Frampton, The Ramones, Sinead O’Connor and Pink Floyd. Even my mix tapes were never that weird.
