King Tubby's ..is in the DHF (Dancehall Hall of Fame)



Background people ...usually be just that, producers and engineer, base player and drummer many people cant recall some of the name - Well I even worse I not even can name Ten producer off my head ...just so - well the obvious reason is that im just an ordinary fan, love the good sounding tracks and lock off the radio or change the stations when the others are being played -- For those who didnt know like me self yah

"King Tubby (born Osbourne Ruddock) was a Jamaican electronics and sound engineer, known for his influence on the development of Dub music in the 1960s and 1970s.
Tubby engineered/remixed songs by Jamaica's top producers such as Lee Perry, Bunny Lee, Augustus Pablo and Vivian Jackson that featured artists such as Johnny Clarke, Cornell Campbell, Linval Thompson, Horace Andy, Big Joe, Delroy Wilson, Jah Stitch
It is unlikely that a complete discography of Tubby's production work could be created based on the number of labels, artists and producers with whom he worked, and subsequent repressings of these releases sometimes contained contradictory information. His name is credited on hundreds of b-side labels, with the possibility that many others were by his hand yet uncredited, due to similarities with his known work.
King Tubby was shot and killed on February 6, 1989 by an unknown group of people outside his home in Duhaney Park, upon returning from a session at his Waterhouse studio. It is thought that the murder was probably an attempt at robbery"
