Sugar Minott, Early B, Home T4, Jose Wales,

‪@LeoOReggio‬
High-quality video clips of energetic and sweet reggae dancehall performances.
Michael Bennet, the award-winning music producer, and owner of Grafton Studio, is the most famous member of the vocalist group, Home T4. The group later became known for covering popular standards, including versions of Bunny Wailer’s ‘Cool Runnings’ and Marvin Gaye’s "What’s Going On". They established their popularity with live performances at the Reggae Sunsplash Show in 1984 and were the only vocal group to appear on the Dancehall ’84 stage show in Kingston alongside Half Pint, Michael Palmer, Edi Fitzroy, Charlie Chaplin and Ini Kamoze. The group found some success in their collaborations with Josie Wales (‘Changing’), Yellowman (‘Mr Counsellor’) and Phillip Papa Levi (‘Dear Pastor’) in the mid-80s, which brought them to the attention of a wider audience.
Earlando Arrington Neil aka Early B, got his name through gaining a reputation for arriving early in the dance, so Earlando became Early Bird and eventually just Early B. Originally trying his hand at a career as a singer he decided to change his focus in 1978 when he started deejaying and soon met Cat-A-Rock, taking him as his protégé. Early B and Cat-A-Rock started deejaying for Soul Imperial Hifi and Crystal Blue Sound Systems in the early '80s. Not long after that, they both left for King Majesty, with which they played over the St. Thomas district. At this time he was also deejaying a bit for Stuart Browns sound system African Star, which was based in Toronto, Canada. It was after the murder of Jim Kelly (brother of Junior Kelly) that the sound searched for anyone who could replace the deejay and they contacted Super Cat who joined the sound. Soon after that with the help of Super Cat, Early B also joined Killamanjaro. In 1986 Early B was voted deejay of the year in Jamaica. He later moved to America. Early B was shot on the 11th of December, 1994, at Windsor Cricket Club, Dorchester, Massachusetts. The sound that was playing was Jah Love with Briggy as a deejay. Early B was hit by a stray bullet and was killed.
Josey Wales was born Joseph Winston Sterling in West Kingston, Jamaica, and took his stage name from the Clint Eastwood Western The Outlaw Josey Wales; naturally, "The Outlaw" became a standard nickname for him, along with "The Colonel." Wales first performed professionally as a DJ with the Roots Unlimited Sound System in 1977, and made his name as part of U-Roy's King SturGav Hi-Fi Sound System, where he spent three and a half years in the early '80s. There he teamed with DJ sparring partner Charlie Chaplin in one of the most potent one-two punches of the era, which in turn made King SturGav arguably the biggest sound system around. Wales' first recordings were live performances issued on producer Bunny Roots' label, but he didn't enter the studio until he hooked up with the foremost producer in early dancehall, Henry "Junjo" Lawes. Wales began moonlighting for Lawes' Volcano sound system, and in 1983, he issued his first-ever single on the Volcano label, "Baby Come Home."
Veteran singer, songwriter, musician and producer Sugar Minott - born Lincoln Barrington Minott - from Kingston, Jamaica has been a driving force in pioneering the creation of reggae music. Contributing his indoctrination to the reggae music from growing up near a dancehall where some of the best sounds of the day used to play. From this exposure, he began to build a repertoire and entered talent contests like the Little Theatre Company. When finished school he began his journey in the music business selling records and playing in a sound named, Sound of Silence Keytone. Sugar then started his own sound by the name of Black Roots which then led to the creation of Youthman Promotion. In 1974 Sugar teamed up with Ace producer Coxsone Dodd "Studio One". Bringing the label back to life after the loss of John Holt, Ken Boothe, and Alton Ellis to other studio's, His first hit for "studio One" was "Vanity" followed by "Mr DC", "House is Not a Home" and "Hang on Natty", which led to his first solo album "Live Loving". In 1979 he left Studio One to form his own label - "Black Roots" which led to the foundation of the Youth Promotion crew, recording artists like Little John, Triston Palmer, Barry Brown and Tony Tuff. Youth Promotion started back in 1979, in the Maxfield Park area of Kingston, Jamaica by Lincoln "Sugar" Minott the Veteran singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. The sound system was the opportunity for the youths to be heard by the masses. The Sound Youthman Promotion began to dominate the Dancehall scene by voicing artists like Junior Reid, Yami Bolo, Don Angelo, the late Tenor Saw, Nitty Gritty, and Garnet Silk who did his first recording for the Black Roots Label. The list of artists goes on - Tony Rebel, Colorman, Daddy Freddie, Johnny Osbourne, Steve "Shalom" Harper, and many more.
