Was King Tubby a Rastafari?

[Jah Glu]

I dont know about this one because many of his song names were rastafarian but dont know if it were because the king himself was a rastafari?
R.I.P.

[John Public]

No King Tubby was like most of the producers not a Rastafarian

[haffe dread]

but had a speacil love for rasta.

[Jah Glu]

Thank you very much. However when you - john public - say that he like most other producers wasn't a rastafari i would just like to say that the king wasn't a producer and can you tell me some more producers who wasn' rastafari's

[Taco B]

Coxsone Dodd was no rasta.

[Juha Vaahtera]

I don't think King Tubby had anything to do with the naming of tracks credited to him. It's more like the producers (eg. Bunny Lee's) job.
Besides engineering and repairing equipment he was very passionate about jazz & classical music though. He was reputed to have a very large collection of records too. I don't know if he ever told anything about his private life to anyone.

[Jah Glu]

It is true Juha. He did have a very big collection of jazz.

Lee Perry wasn't rasta, Harry Mudie wasn't rasta, scientist wasn't rasta, Jammy wasn't rasta, Lloyd Barnes wasn't rasta etc etc.

I always thought lee perry was a rasta, he used so many Rasta lyrics in his music, and talks alot about Haile Selassie very surprised to hear he was never a Rasta.
