Duke Reid :
Sound system operator, policeman and liquor store owner Duke 'The Trojan' Reid, perhaps has been the single biggest influence on the development of Jamaican music after his rival Coxsone Dodd. Out of his Treasure Isle studios (on top of the liquor store), the ska and rocksteady hits kept on coming. At the beginning of the 70s he single-handed created a new form of deejaying, cutting slices with a deejay named U Roy. In 1974 he sadly passed away, leaving behind an extensive musical legacy.
