Don Sinclair Reggae Vibes collaborated with Mr Basey and the Conquerer Sound System to bring some positive vibes and a little upliftment to the people of London during the Covid-19 lockdown in the UK. This was a private session filmed in Peckham featuring Anthony Johnson & Seanie T.

Anthony Johnson is a Jamaican Reggae singer who is known for the 1980s hit song “Every Day is a Gunshot”. Anthony is well known in Jamaica and on the European reggae circuit. He lives in the UK, but he does shows in France, Germany, Slovenia and Italy. He has a large discography. Mr.Johnson may be characterized as a roots rock, lovers rock reggae artist who specializes in singing music with positive and uplifting themes. He is truly travelling along the path travelled by giants such as Bob Marley and Burning Spears.Anthony was born in Kingston, Jamaica at the Jubilee Hospital. His mother Cynthia Hamilton was a market woman by trade, and his father was a Barbadian who worked at the Sombero Club in Kingston. Anthony’s parents had three children together before separating. They also had other children separately, so Johnson has several siblings.Johnson was raised by his mother in a tenement yard from the heart of Trench Town. Byah’s yard at 15½ James Street is significant in Johnson’s development as an artist and musician. This yard doubles as a popular dancehall on weekends and holidays. Some of the big sound systems of the era played at dances in Byah’s yard. As a child, Roy could not help hearing the hot Studio One and Treasure Isles hits of the 60s and early 70s.“Everyday is a Gunshot” has become a dancehall anthem around the world. It appeared on the soundtrack of the movie entitled “The Bank Job.” It was one of the first major hit to plea for a cessation of the so-called “shotta” mentality that now has a stranglehold on Jamaica.Mr. Johnson has to be considered one of the legends of reggae. The message in his songs is positive. He sings about love, peace and justice. He exhort the youths of Jamaica and around the world to throw away the guns and follow god role models. In “Chucky No Lucky” one of his songs he sings about not wanting to be a gunman. This type of lyrics is rare in Reggae today. In another song he sings we don’t want no more war.Nowadays Jamaican artists tend to want to brag and boast about being shottas and gangsters in their songs. For Anthony his world is all about Peace and Harmony. Anthony Johnson is out now on Blue Pie for the world. Search on iTunes and eMusic and download him today.

Youthman Promotion ft Nitty Gritty, Tenor Saw, Sugar Minott 1985

Nitty Gritty
Glen Augustus Holness, 1957, August Town, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies, d. 24 June 1991, Brooklyn, New York, USA. As computerized rhythms became popular in Jamaica, Nitty Gritty rose to fame alongside Tenor Saw, King Kong and Anthony Red Rose. The latter’s vocal delivery was similar in style to Nitty Gritty’s own gospel-tinged wail. The second eldest of 11 children of church-going parents, he trained as an electrician before forming the Soulites. He sang ‘Let The Power Fall On I’ in 1973 with Dennis Brown, George Nooks and the Mighty Diamonds for Joe Gibbs. His first solo recording, ‘Every Man Is A Seller’, recorded for Sugar Minott’s Youth Promotion label, was not released for another 10 years. He recorded several tracks at Channel One after working briefly with Danny Dread on the Zodiac sound system, and he also recorded two tracks for Derrick ‘Bubbles’ Howard of the African Brothers before moving to George Phang in 1984. He joined King Jammy in 1985. Their first release, ‘Hog Inna Minty’, was an instant success. Subsequent releases, ‘Good Morning Teacher’, ‘Sweet Reggae Music’, ‘Run Down The World’ and ‘Gimme Some Of Your Something’, were all significant hits.


Tenor Saw
One of the most important figures in early ragga and dancehall, Tenor Saw (born Clive Bright, 1966, Kingston, Jamaica) is best-known for his 1985 hit "Ring the Alarm," a song based on the then-ubiquitous "Stalag 17" rhythm which proved to be one of the biggest -- and catchiest -- hits to come out of reggae's transition into the electronic age. Tenor Saw followed it up with Fever, an LP that -- while it didn't contain his signature song -- proved to be a minor classic of early dancehall, full of simple, catchy melodies, synthesized rhythm-section parts, and Tenor Saw's floating vocals. (The CD reissue of Fever also appended dub versions of most of the original tracks.) With such a promising start to his career, it seemed Tenor Saw would be around for quite a long time; sadly, his life was cut short in August 1988, when he was hit by a car in Houston, TX, and killed. The album Wake the Town was released posthumously in 1992.


Sugar Minott
Lincoln Barrington Minott was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on May 25, 1956. He began his career in the sound systems while still a child, working as a selector for the Sound of Silence Keystone outfit, before launching his own Gathering of Youth sound system just as he hit his teens. There, too, he carried on merely as the selector. However, in 1969, Minott decided to take the mike himself, not as a DJ, but as a singer, one third of the African Brothers roots trio, alongside Tony Tuff and Derrick Howard. The group initially made its way around the amateur talent show circuit, but eventually linked up with the Micron label. African Brothers released a number of singles over the next few years, including "Party Night," "Gimme Gimme African Love," and "A Di System" cut with producer Jah Bunny. The trio also began self-producing (its first attempt was "Torturing", and then launched its own Ital label. By this time, the trio's Abyssinians influence was becoming prominent, as can be heard on "Righteous Kingdom," "Youths of Today," and "Lead Us Father."

Official Reggae History: Tony Rebel - Exclusive Interview at Stingray Records 2017

Patrick Barrett, 15 January 1962, Manchester, Jamaica, West Indies. Rebel started out as singer, winning local talent competitions as Papa Tony or Tony Ranking on Destiny Outernational, Thunderstorm, Wha Dat and Sugar Minott’s Youth Promotion sound systems, but he is perhaps better known as one of the few dreadlocked ‘cultural’ DJs of the ragga era. His first release was ‘Casino Gambling’ on the MGB label and he also recorded tracks for Delroy ‘Callo’ Collins and Shocking Vibes, but he began to fully develop as an artist while at Penthouse Records. He released ‘Fresh Dee-Jay’, ‘Music Fraternity’ and ‘Mandella Story’ before he worked with Cutty Ranks on Die Hard. The album contained two of his first hits, ‘The Armour’ and ‘Instant Death’. Despite their confrontational fervour, Rebel’s spiritual approach and melodic singing style were unique. Rebel had further hits in 1990 with ‘Fresh Vegetable’, ‘DJ Unity’ (with Macka , ‘The Herb’, ‘War And Crime’ and ‘Hush’ (for Bobby Digital). He worked with several different producers between 1991 and 1992, including Exterminator, Star Trail and the Two Friends label, where he worked with Anthony Red Rose (‘Gun Talk’) and Judy Mowatt (‘Guilty’). Rebel With A Cause was released on Penthouse in 1992. The rootsy follow-up Rebellious was produced by Sky High, and included duets with Half Pint and Garnett Silk. ‘Chatty Chatty Mouth’ was another success with Penthouse but ‘Reggae On Top’ was recorded for Steely And Clevie. He signed to Columbia Records for 1993’s Vibes Of The Times, and the Bobby Digital production, ‘Sweet Jamaica’, was chosen for the soundtrack to the same year’s hit movie Cool Runnings.
