The producer Joe Gibbs, hardcore Jamaican entrepreneur, engineer, and record producer started recording artists in the back of his electronics repair shop in 1966.

He worked with Lee “Scratch” Perry who had left the employ of Coxsone Dodd‘s Studio One. Bunny Lee helped them form The Amalgamated record label. Soon ‘Niney The Observer‘ joined the team and they were able to produce Rocksteady era hits.

In 1972, Errol Thompson came on board as the chief engineer and together with Joe Gibbs formed “The Mighty Two.” Their studio band called The Professionals featured bassist Sly Dunbar, drummer Robbie Shakespeare, and guitarist Earl “Chinna” Smith.

Hundreds of hits came out including “Money in My Pocket” by Dennis Brown and “A So We Stay” by Big Youth. In 1977 the Culture album entitled “Two Sevens Clash” debuted and became a smash hit which coincided with the punk rock craze in the UK.

Artists recorded and produced by Joe Gibbs included Dennis Brown, Jacob Miller, Gregory Isaacs, Junior Byles, Barrington Levy, Cornell Campbell, Delroy Wilson, Beres Hammond, JC Lodge, Marcia Aitken, Althea and Donna, Ranking Joe and Peter Tosh. The list goes on and on.

In the new millennium, Joe Gibbs focused on marketing his back catalog. Joe Gibbs passed on to Zion in February 2008. He had over 100 Jamaica number one hits and over a dozen UK hits.

He released music on an array of different record labels. An amazing body of work, the Joe Gibbs catalog includes some very important songs in the story of Jamaican music. Salute to the icon, the giant, one of the greatest producers ever – Joe Gibbs.

Sugar Minott | Reggae Lover Podcast Episode 86

by kahlil wonda History, News, Podcasts, reggae, Reggae Lover Podcast • Tags: Barrington Levy, Coxsone Dodd, dancehall, Good Thing Going, Jamaica, Junior Reid, Little John, Musical Youth, Nitty Gritty, reggae, Studio One (record label), Sugar Minott, Tenor Saw, United Kingdom

Reggae lover podcast episode 86 is about Lincoln Barrington Minott, also known as dancehall music pioneer, Sugar Minott.

Sugar Minott, Dancehall Hero

In a live dancehall setting during the 1970s, it was common for artists to perform over pre-recorded instrumentals. Sugar Minott was the first artist to recreate that style inside the studio. He worked with Coxsone Dodd and sang new lyrics over the instrumentals of popular Studio One songs.

After leaving Studio One, Minott founded his own record label called the Black Roots. He also founded a sound system called Youth Man Promotions, and later a record label by the same name. His vision was to give young artists an outlet, and a chance to make their name in the music business.

Sugar Minott moved to England where he was achieving more success than he was in Jamaica. The lover’s rock craze started in the UK and Sugar was one of the major players in that movement. While in England he discovered the group Musical Youth.

Back in Jamaica, he’s also credited with discovering many young talents. He gave unknown artists the chance to perform live in the Dancehall and record for the first time. It was Sugar Minott who actually recorded Garnet Silk‘s first song. Other artists associated with the Black Roots and Youthman Promotion movements include Barrington Levy, Little John, Nitty Gritty, Tenor Saw, Junior Reid, Jah Stitch, Ranking Dread and Ranking Joe.

Sugar was a very Dynamic, versatile artist with successful records in different styles. Lovers rock, Roots, covers, dancehall style, and original written material. Sugar Minott recorded for his own record labels, and he worked with other top labels and producers. Working with Mikey Dread, George Phang, Sly and Robbie Jammys, Channel One and with the Bullwackies label out of New York City. Sugar Minott recorded over 60 albums and countless singles.

He passed away in 2010 to heart disease. To see him on stage I was very impressed. Even in his old age, he was a very energetic performer, acting out scenes, jumping, prancing and dancing across the stage. All with his voice still sounding sweet like sugar. Very comfortable in a dancehall setting, he would ask the band or the selector to play some Studio One, and he could sing for hours – entertaining and thrilling the crowd.

I salute the great Sugar Minott. His legacy lives on with his daughter Pashon Minott who is a bonafide recording artist in her own rights. If you enjoy this mix I hope you will add some of the songs to your music collection.

The Top Conscious Reggae Collaborations of the 1990’s

by kahlil wonda News, Podcasts, reggae, Reggae Lover Podcast • Tags: Barrington Levy, Beenie Man, Beres Hammond, Buju Banton, Garnett Silk, reggae, Shabba Rank, Sizzla, Terror Fabulous, Tony Rebel

This mix consists strictly of my favorite type of song, the collabo aka combination (duet, trio, etc.). There is usually more energy to a song whenever two or more artists decide to join forces on a single musical project and in reggae music, the excitement is heightened when singers team up with deejays.

This is the latest episode of the syndicated Reggae Vault Classics podcast produced by Kahlil Wonda of Highlanda Sound for the week of April 13, 2009 featuring classic reggae music in a DJ mixed format with no talking.

The Crown Prince of Reggae himself, the late Mr. Dennis Emmanuel Brown kicks off this week’s freestyle mix with Whip Them Jah, Here I Come, and Money In My Pocket. Since last week’s show was devoted to the music of just one artist, I wanted to make sure I covered all other bases this time around. Therefore, this week’s episode features all singers and gives you some Studio One selections, but also includes labels like Trojan Records, Joe Gibbs, and Techniques. The playlist spans from the 1960s with original John Holt, Derrick Morgan, and Sugar Minott through the 1990s with Buju Banton, Beenie Man, and Terry Ganzie. There’s even a bonus mix of Highlanda dubplate specials for the dubplate fans. Hopefully you will want this one to be stored safely in your Ipod where you can listen and share with others.

Reggae Vault Classics 10

This is the latest episode of the syndicated Reggae Vault Classics podcast produced by Kahlil Wonda of Highlanda Sound for the week of March 17, 2009 featuring classic reggae music in a DJ mixed format with no talking.

This episode starts with two of the biggest dancehall riddims ever with 6 tunes on the General followed by the 1990’s own Kette Drum riddim. Kette Drum is so prolific I could have mixed an entire 30 minute show with just Kette Drum alone, but decided to select 6 of the biggest songs on the riddim instead. About 15 minutes in, I enter the freestyle part of the mix with classics from Sluggy Ranks, Barrington Levy, Johnny Osborne, and Dennis Brown. D. Brown’s late 1970’s recording, ‘My Time,’ is followed up by Brooklyn, New York’s Don One label’s late 1990’s Dennis Brown vault classic entitled ‘Believe In Yourself’ on the Ballistic Affair riddim – one of the last works recorded by the late great Crown Prince of Reggae. Any true Highlanda fan knows something is missing if there’s no Studio One in the mix so next comes Horace Andy with ‘Mr. Bassie’ – Studio 1st mega hit. Freddie McGregor‘s version of Junior Byle’s original ‘Curly Lox’ blends right in and then the B side dub version is featured as well, before Freddie closes out Reggae Vault Classics # 10 with ‘I See It In You.’
