any info on this artist?
thnx

Can't remember if it says anything about him in the sleeve notes to the Trojan "Musical Fever" album. Will have a look over the weekend... unless that's where you've found the track of course.

all I could find out is that him record only 1 track in his whole life..as it seem...

is the man still alive??

ok, great

if he would be living him must be around 68 this times

more like 78

dat tune "a get a lick" really got me since me hear it first time, i wonder if he is still alive and if him have family members in the music

Well, I can exclusively reveal that the sleeve notes to "Musical Fever", while being fairly informative in other respects, ...don't tell you anything about him at all.

dead or not?

His first song for Coxsone "Cherry Baby" recorded 1966 with The Soul Brothers is now circulating as a repress.
