One Bright Day by Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers
One Bright Day is an album by Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers, released in 1989. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Look Who's Dancing”, on 4 lists with a best position of #41.
One Bright Day, the fifth album from Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, came out on Virgin in 1989 with Chris Frantz producing, and it had the unenviable job of following Conscious Party, the best-seller that had finally broken the family band wide open with "Tomorrow People" and "Tumblin' Down".
The lineup is pure bloodline, Bob and Rita Marley's children, with Ziggy singing lead alongside Stephen, Sharon and Cedella Marley. Here they lean hard into uplift: the songs are about optimism and self-empowerment, set to warm, rolling reggae grooves that sound built for sunshine.
