SOLID ROCK - Barrington Levy SPECIAL (Apr. '21)

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.

Another true legend of Reggae has passed away.

Well, legend is a word that is easily said, but only as we compiled this tribute tape we really realized HOW MANY unforgettable moments in the last 20 years we spent with the music of John Holt. From the first time we listened to Ali Baba on a tape that we often played in a car that we still had to borrow from our mum back than… Well I guess you all have memories like that. All those moments in all those record shops, when you dug out another John Holt single that just instantly hit you with niceness. The first time we played police in helicopter at a dance and the crowd went like WHEEEEEL…
Seeing John Holt perform pon stage years later was pure magic. When we finally met him in the studio, he really turned out to be the most humble and lovable artists we ever had the pleasure to work with, still seeming a little astonished by the fact that generation after generation of reggae fans continued to celebrate his work.

R.I.P. Mr. Holt

Yellowman (born Winston Foster, 15 January 1956, Kingston, Jamaica)[1] is a Jamaican reggae (rub-a-dub) and dancehall deejay, widely known as King Yellowman. He was popular in Jamaica in the 1980s, coming to prominence with a series of singles that established his reputation.

Career[edit]
Winston Foster grew up in a Catholic orphanage called Alpha Boys School in Kingston, and was shunned due to having albinism, which was usually not socially accepted in Jamaica. Alpha Boys School was known for its musical alumni.[2] In the late 1970s Yellowman first gained wide attention when he won a contest event in Kingston, Jamaica called "The Tastee Talent Contest" where deejays would perform toasting. Like many Jamaican deejays, he honed his talents by frequently performing at outdoor sound-system dances.[3] In 1981, after becoming significantly popular throughout Jamaica, Yellowman became the first dancehall artist to be signed to a major American label (Columbia Records).[4] One reviewer of Yellowman was quoted as saying "Listening to Yellowman sing is like watching Michael Jordan play basketball. He knows he's got it, you know he's got it, and it's a trip just experiencing him perform."[citation needed]

His first album release was in 1982 entitled Mister Yellowman followed by Zungguzungguguzungguzeng in 1983 earning instant success. Yellowman's sexually explicit lyrics in popular songs such as "Them a Mad Over Me" boasted of his sexual prowess, like those of other reggae singers/deejays, earned Yellowman criticism in the mid-1980s.[1] Yellowman appeared in Jamaican Dancehall Volcano Hi-power 1983 which featured other major dancehall musicians such as Massive Dread, Josey Wales, Burro Banton and Eek-A-Mouse.[1]
Battle with Cancer[edit]
In 1982, Yellowman was diagnosed with skin cancer and was initially told that he only had three more years to live.[1] However, this prognosis proved to be inaccurate, and after several surgeries Yellowman was able to continue his career.[7] The cancer went into apparent remission during this time. It was not until 1986 that it was diagnosed that the cancer had spread to his jaw. Yellowman was forced to undergo a very invasive jaw surgery to remove the malignant tumor that had formed. This surgery permanently disfigured Yellowman's face, as a large portion of the left side of his lower jaw had to be removed to successfully extract the tumor.[8]
