Producers

Post by donstrumental »

Who are your favourite producers and why?

Earlier in the week there was a thread about George Phang and how he bought riddims from Sly and Robbie.Does putting your name to a label make you a producer?

I think the producer lifetime achievement should go to King Jammys,

Listen to a Jammys production whether it be 1979,1984,1987,you know it's him.

well, does copying a soundpattern from a cheap casio keyboard make you a producer ?

it was a short period, but duke reids productions at treasure isle are among my favourites. versioned countless times, a testament to the quality of these productions. although much later, i have a maytones LP 'keep the fire burning', arranged and produced by duke reid, anyone have any info to share on this release? thanks.
