About this item

Leroy Smart the self proclaimed ‘Don’ carries much respect in the Jamaican musical community. He came through the Alpha boys school in Kingston that provided JA with the cream of Jamaican artistic talent, including such legends as Don Drummond, Tommy Mc Cook and Johnny Dizzy Moore to name but a few.

Leroy Smarts talent lay in his attacking vocal style that gives his lyrics and tune that extra meaning. His best work came in the heady mid 70s working with ‘The Hitmaker from Jamaica’ Mr. Bunny 'Striker' Lee. Bunny put Leroy Smart's vocals on some of his best rhythms starting in 1973 with ‘God Helps The Man’ and ‘Wreck Up My Life’. Other killer hits were to follow such as ‘Mr.Smart’, ’Pride and Ambition’, ’Bad Minded People’ and the attacking ‘Mr. Richman’. All tracks telling it like it is...

Kingston Sounds have compiled all these cuts together, every song a story in itself, told only as Leroy Smart could.
