I spoke to the one and only Striker as we prepare for the released of the documentary about him- I Am The Gorgan (17th Nov) and his 73rd Birthday celebration (Jazz Café on 12th Nov). Hear what we chose to play and get some unique insights on this casual-sounding show: https://www.mixcloud.com/StephenT/stephen-scorcha-bunny-lee-select-5th-november-2014/

I agree. It's a triumph. Really enjoyed the film. If I was 4/5 stars in anything in life I'd be triumphant too. It's easy to point and find fault in things that other people have gone to a lot of trouble to actually do and leave a legacy.

Some free publicity for you Gary- told my listeners about this (London 92.6fm) on my show Friday as I played Seven Souls I told them what you wrote in your book about the Fleetwood Mac and Rufus connections. Still enjoying the book- I'm a slow reader. cheers https://www.mixcloud.com/StephenT/the-weekend-starts-here-show-2-7th-november-2014/ at 1:28

Came today- very quick after payment. Great presentation- A4 large font, photos and industry adverts of the different periods. A look at the writing and it looks well written- interesting. Looks something like an end of degree thesis if you know what I mean with all sources quoted and assertions qualified. Right up my street this- job well done. Stax, Chess, Atlantic, Motown all have big books (or a few!) about them so it's about time the other Okeh did as they came first as well. cheers Gary

'John Kenneth Holt (11 July 1947 — 19 October 2014) was a reggae singer and songwriter who first found fame as a member of the Paragons, before establishing himself as a solo artist. Holt was born in Kingston in 1947. By the age of twelve, he was a regular entrant in talent contests run at Jamaican theatres by Vere Johns. He recorded his first single in 1963 with "I Cried a Tear" for record producer Leslie Kong, and also recorded duets with Alton Ellis. He achieved prominence in his home country as lead singer of the Paragons and they cut a succession of singles for Duke Reid at his Treasure Isle Studio and enjoyed a string of hits, including "Ali Baba", "Tonight", "I See Your Face", and Holt penned "The Tide Is High" (later made famous by Blondie). "Wear You to the Ball" was another of his hits with the Paragons, and hit the charts again when U-Roy added a Deejay verse to it. During his time with the Paragons, he also recorded solo material for Studio One (including "Fancy Make-up", "A Love I Can Feel", "Let's Build Our Dreams" and "OK Fred") and Prince Buster ("Oh Girl", and "My Heart Is Gone"). Holt left the Paragons in 1970 and concentrated on his solo career. By the early 1970s, he was one of the biggest stars of reggae, and his "Stick By Me" was the biggest selling Jamaican record of 1972, one of a number of records recorded with producer Bunny Lee. His 1973 album, Time Is The Master [for producer Harry Mudie], was successful, with orchestral arrangements recorded in London. The success of the string-laden reggae led to Trojan Records issuing a series of similarly arranged albums produced by Bunny Lee starting with the 1,000 Volts of Holt in 1973, a compilation of Holt's reggae cover versions of popular hits (and later followed by similarly named releases up to 3,000 Volts of Holt). 1,000 Volts spawned the UK Top 10 hit "Help Me Make It Through the Night" (written by Kris Kristofferson), which peaked at number 6, and included covers of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" and "Touch Me in the Morning" by Diana Ross. Holt's style, notably slower and more romantic than most of his contemporaries, is a recognisable forerunner of the lovers rock sub-genre. His song, "Man Next Door", has been covered by numerous other reggae artists, including Dennis Brown, UB40 and Horace Andy. The latter sang in a more electronic vein for the Massive Attack album, Mezzanine. Having been taken ill at the One Love Festival on 16 August, Holt died on 19 October 2014 in a London hospital.' - Wikipedia Stephen T celebrates Sir John Holt ~ 22nd October 2014 On The Beach- The Paragons (Treasure Isle) * Only A Smile- The Paragons (Treasure Isle) * Tide Is High- The Paragons (Treasure Isle) * Happy Go Lucky Girl- The Paragons (Treasure Isle) * You Mean The World To Me- The Paragons (Treasure Isle) * Talking Love- The Paragons with Lyn Taitt & The Jets (Merritone) * If I Were You- The Paragons with Lyn Taitt & The Jets (Merritone) * Memories By The Score- The Paragons (Ossie) * You're My Number One- The Paragons (Ossie) * Left With A Broken Heart- The Paragons (Duke) * Man Next Door- The Paragons (Duke) * Wear You To The Ball- The Paragons (Treasure Isle) * I'll Be Lonely- John & Joya (Treasure Isle) * Ali Baba- John Holt (Treasure Isle) * Stealing- John Holt (Treasure Isle) * I'm Your Man- John Holt (Treasure Isle) * I See Your Face- John Holt (Treasure Isle) * Stranger In Love- John Holt (Studio 1) * Do You Love Me- John Holt (Studio 1) * Fancy Make Up- John Holt (Studio 1) * Let's Dance- John Holt (Studio 1) * Tonight- John Holt (Studio 1) * Strange Things- John Holt (Sunshot) * Time Is The Master- John Holt (Moodisc) * Mr Bojangles- John Holt (Trojan) * Help Me Make It Through The Night- John Holt (Trojan) * For The Love Of You- John Holt (Impact) * Can I Change My Mind- John Holt (Striker Lee) * Hooligans Change Your Style- John Holt (Striker Lee) * Up Park Camp- John Holt (Striker Lee) * Satisfaction- John Holt (Hit Bound) * Police In Helicopter- John Holt (Jah Guidance) * Carpenter- John Holt (King Jammy's) * Listen- https://www.mixcloud.com/StephenT/stephen-t-celebrates-sir-john-holt-22nd-october-2014/ Download- https://www.sendspace.com/file/5cvmg0
