My fav singer may he fly high💙🕊️🕊️🙏🏽

Nice Track, check out @exodusmuzik - Then give him a follow!!

Lincoln “Sugar” Minott (May 25, 1956 – July 10, 2010) is known in Jamaica and around the world as one of the greatest and most beloved figures in reggae music. From his initial work with The African Brothers, to his genre-defining early dancehall work at Studio One, to his rub-a-dub at Channel One and beyond, Sugar wasn’t just part of reggae, he was at the center of it.

Sugar was also much more than a vocalist – he was a producer who led many of his own recording sessions, ran labels and distribution, and also worked with sound systems. His legendary Youthman Promotion sound is still known today not just for the music it produced, but for the long list of young vocalists it raised.

In celebration of his 65th birthday, VP Records drew for a mix from some of the best in the western US. Virgo Hi-Power is a long-time sound crew featuring DJ Boomshot (Maui, Hawaii) and DJ Solid Rock (San Diego, California). Their focus in this 80-minute tribute is mostly early 80s, with flashes of more style.
The mix includes just some of Sugar’s hits, LP cuts, singles, hidden gems, a few dubs, and excerpts from Carter Van Pelt’s Sugar Minott WKCR Memorial Broadcast (available at archive.org). As always, Sugar is nice, rough, timeless, bubbling, and sweet. 

This is SWEETER STILL – Sugar Minott at 65.

→ SUGAR MINOTT - BIOGRAPHY

SYNOPSIS

Lincoln Barrington Minott, better known as Sugar Minott, was born in Kingston Jamaica on May 25, 1956. He made his first important recordings for Studio One, the seminal studio and record label owned by influential producer Clement "Coxsone" Dodd. He pioneered the dancehall style of laying new vocal tracks over original 1960s backing tapes instead of using live musicians in the studio. Minott died in St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, on July 10, 2010.

EARLY LIFE

Born one of eight children in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1956, Sugar Minott began working with sound systems, roving groups of deejays and MCs, before he entered his teen years. After working with the Sound of Silence Keystone and Gathering of Youth systems, he teamed with Derrick Howard and Tony Tuff to form the singing trio The African Brothers in 1969. Minott's solo career began to take off when he began working as a singer, guitarist and percussionist at Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's influential Studio One, Jamaica's first black-owned studio and record label.

Minott's early singles, including "Hang On Natty," "Mr. DC" and "Jah Jah Children," drew praise and led to the 1977 release of his debut album, Live Loving. After leaving Studio One in 1979, he started his own label, Black Roots, to produce and record up-and-coming artists like Barrington Levy, Tony Tuff, Tenor Saw and Barry Brown.

MUSICAL CAREER

Minott's biggest hit was a cover of the 1971 Michael Jackson tune, "We've Got a Good Thing Going." Minott's version, "Good Thing Going," reached No. 4 on the British singles charts in March of 1981. Earlier, in 1979, he received wide acclaim for two socially conscious singles, "Hard Time Pressure" and "Ghetto-Ology."

Minott became a pioneer of the dancehall genre when he laid new vocals tracks over original 1960s backing tapes instead of live musicians. This method was commonplace for live shows, but Minott brought the practice into the recording studio, sparking a revolution in Jamaican music.

"[Minott] mastered every reggae style and made significant contributions to each of them—from roots and message music into lover's rock, to the computerized techno music of the dancehall genre in the mid-1980s," Roger Steffens, co-founder of the reggae magazine The Beat, told The New York Times.

PERSONAL LIFE AND DEATH

Minott married Maxine Stowe, Clement Dodd's niece and a prominent Jamaican singer in her own right, in 1993.

Minott died in St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, on July 10, 2010. He was survived by his wife, Stowe, and 14 children—four with Stowe, and the others from previous relationships.

OUR TRIBUTE TO SUGAR 'BUGGA' MINOTT - DANCE CRASHER Sound Mixtape (Year 2011)

"Soon Forward" Best Of Gregory Isaacs Part 3
Starts out with what might be the best lovers rock tune from the period. Maybe Mos Def thinks the same when he layed the lyrics ”…she walked away smiling singing Gregory Isaacs like, if I don't if I don't have you…” Maybe singers like Tenor Saw, Dennis Brown, Sugar Minott or Barrington Levy were more important for the rub a dub-period but Gregory Isaacs probably did the biggest song with "Night Nurse". Even though my personal favourite here is this later take of "Once Ago". "Can't Give You My Love Alone" has always been one of the tunes that I gotta play when it's vinyl night. The mix and this period in Gregorys career ends with rougher tunes which reflects his harder life. I read somewhere that he walked the streets in Kingston with a weapon hidden under the coat and robbed people of their drug money. And yes, I read it before I watched The Wire…

"Soon Forward" Best Of Gregory Isaacs Part 3

Roots Culture Chapel mixed by DJ Elliottmixx

REMEMBER 1998 EDITION:
As many soundmen and soundwomen my favourite era when it comes to reggae and dancehall is the 90’s. No autotune, hardcore vibe and powerful riddims. It has been already a lot of 90’s mixtapes released featuring most of the times the same songs and artists that are the anthems and icons of the decade. It did not make so much sense to release one more.. That is why im starting a year by year mixtape series starting from 1990 called REMEMBER. The selection is made from the charts of the year so we can remember which tunes were hot and also the evolution of the music in 10 years!
