Video. Underrated: The Count C Story

[Guest]

Cyril 'Count C' Braithwaite (1925-2011) was an original Jamaican sound system success story, before reggae, rocksteady or ska. From his yard at 6 Wellington Street in West Kingston, Jamaica Count C helped to shape modern pop culture and personally mentored more than a few international music careers. A contemporary of Tom the Great Sebastian and a rival to Duke Reid, Count C was a trendsetter and tastemaker. Although little known outside of West Kingston... inside he was the Wizard of the West.
