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.

Dennis Brown was an artist who bridged both music and poetry. He recorded more than 75 albums in a career that spanned 30 years. Entering the hearts of entire generations both in and out of the world of reggae, he became Bob Marley’s favorite singer.The second volume of “Icons” is an homage to this singer and poet. He was unaware of his natural nobility until reggae lovers titled him The Crown Prince of Reggae.

Nobile per natura, ma ignaro di esserlo: Dennis Brown è stato l'artista che ha vissuto sul piano ininterrotto della musica e della poesia. Con più di 75 album registrati, in 30 anni di carriera, Dennis Brown é entrato nel cuore di intere generazioni e di artisti appartenenti al mondo del Reggae, sino a divenire il cantante preferito di Bob Marley.Il secondo volume di 'Icons' vuole essere un omaggio ad un artista che é stato al tempo stesso poeta e cantante: nobile per natura, ma ignaro di esserlo finché gli amanti del genere non scelsero di incoronarlo Principe della musica Reggae.

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

→ 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.
