Producer: Coxsone Dodd Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: The importance of reggae producer and sound system impresario Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd in the history of Jamaican music cannot be overstated. Dodd was a significant force in the careers of many of Jamaica's best-selling artists, including Bob Marley & the Wailers, Toots & the Maytals, Ken Boothe, and the Heptones, and also gave reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry his first start in music. This overview of some of Dodd's vintage Studio One output spans the high-flying harmonies of the Cables, whose "Baby Why" typifies the producer's approach of combining gorgeously melodic vocals with irresistibly danceable rhythm tracks, the Heptones' similarly beguiling "Party Time," and more rootsy offerings from the Gladiators and Judah Tafari Eskender.
