Biographie
Il commence sa carrière au début des seventies, notamment chez Lee Perry.
Un de ses modèles est U-Roy[1].
En 1976 il est victime d'un grave accident de la route ; ses morceaux Reason for living et Born for a purpose en sont directement inspirés[2].
Très populaire auprès des punks anglais, l'anecdote raconte que son single Born for a purpose a grimpé dans les charts après que Johnny Rotten l'ait mentionné dans une interview radio.
L'album Best dressed chicken in town, collection de titres du milieu des années 1970, reste un classique du genre. Le single est basé sur un riddim de Horace Andy.
