I'm going through my collection listening to Lynn Taitt tunes and though his sound is very recognizable, I don't really know the names of tunes he played on that weren't credited to him. As with many musicians, he played a big part in a lot of tunes, but they were credited to other artists. What are some of your favorites, especially tunes that were credited to other artists?

I've been listening through to the Melodians work and a lot of it has that Lynn Taitt sound. I know a lot of their stuff was produced by Duke Reid, but when I listen to other DReid stuff a lot of it doesn't seem to have that same Lynn Taitt sound? How much did Taitt work with Reid? Were there other producers he was linked with more?

Also, is that Lynn Taitt on Tony Brevett's "Don't Get Weary"? (The riddim I Roy rode)

There are just to many of the great man's works to mention but i like all the Duke Reid,Coxsone Dodd Joe Gibbs/Lee Perry work and the minor producers ie: Derrick Morgan Prince Buster you name it the guy was a huge force when it comes to makeing this thing we call reggae into the almost elemental force it is now. There will never be a man who had so much influence on one genre of music than the great Lynn Taitt.A most irie individual even if he needed Gladdy to interpret for him in the early days.
