One of my all time fav deejays, recorded some awesome albums in the 80's, and I just still cannot find a clue about him...is he still around making music, does he still soundsystems? Any info would be highly appreciated...also would love to see his works on CD, I'm not aware of any reissues of any of his albums. Thanks!

Great singer & he also was a drummer. "Satta & Praise Jah" was his big hit through the years. LP's can also be found such as the "Showdown" LP with Michael Palmer on Empire, "Best of " on Trojan and also another other one I have on "Harry J's" label (cant recall its title right now though.
Tracki his stuff down, he's good.

All his albums have some great tracks on them. You can also pick up some great tunes that appear on compilations.
The 3 tracks that appear on Conerstone are as good as anything that appear on albums under his own name.
Great singer, never realised he died though.

I have those too (except items 5 & 7)
Don`t know "Dance Cork" and never realised he released on Wackies. What year are these 2 albums ?
The Frankie Jones tracks on "Sings Roots and Culture" is the same tracks as "Satta and Praise Jah"
Like I said, good singer, good albums
