Born Don McCarlos, the roots singer processes one of reggae’s most distinctive voices. His vocal mannerisms are instantly recognisable over a tune, yet he remains one of Jamaica’s best kept secrets. Kingston Sounds look back to some of his finest moments that set the tone for his popularity that was to follow in the dancehall period of reggae.
He began his musical career in 1973, when, alongside Garth Dennis and Derrick Ducky Simpson, he formed one of reggae's foremost groups Black Uhuru.
He then joined Wailing Souls before going solo under the shorter name Don Carlos. Kingston Sounds find this set hard to beat as most of his classis are represented here.
