If You Like Pina Coladas, a song by DJ Cassidy, Shaggy and Rayvon, tops the New York Reggae chart. It is a remake of British American singer and songwriter Rupert Holmes’ 1979 platinum-certified #1 US single Escape (The Pina Colada Song).

Escape (The Pina Colada Song) was a #1 hit locally, topping the JBC Radio One and RJR Top 40 charts in early 1980.

The remake by DJ Cassidy, Shaggy and Rayvon was released almost three months ago and it’s official music video has racked up more than 2.1 million views on YouTube.

This is the third #1 collaboration featuring Shaggy and Rayvon. They first collaborated on 1993’s Big Up which failed to chart. Two years later, they teamed up on a remake of Mungo and Jerry’s British chart-topper In the Summertime. Their version went to #5 on the UK Singles chart.

Shaggy and Rayvon again collaborated on another remake, 2000’s Angel, which topped the UK and US charts.

Angel, originally titled Angel of the Morning, was written by Chip Taylor and originally recorded by Evie Sands. It was the version by singer Merrilee Rush that became popular in 1968, who took it to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Another popular arrangement was done by Juice Newton, whose version charted higher, at #4 in the summer of 1981 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
