STUDIO ONE

Studio One is the label that discovered, and in many cases, helped create legacies for artists who became international legends, from Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer of The Wailers to The Heptones, Burning Spear, Marcia Griffiths and Freddie McGregor. Even more amazing is the sheer volume of great recordings produced at Studio One by owner Clement S. Dodd, a true Legend himself. Over the years, he produced thousands of records resulting in hundreds of Jamaican hits which, in turn, inspired thousands of versions adaptations of musical arrangements or blatant rhythm track samples. In song after song, 35 year old rhythms charged through the charts as if they were brand new. Sean Paul & Sasha recently enjoyed one of 2004s biggest Pop hits by covering Studio Ones 1967 gem I'm Still In Love by one of reggaes all time favorite soul singers, Alton Ellis. Without Studio One, reggae music might not have become a worldwide phenomenon. Every music fan has heard Bob Marleys 1984 version of One Love/ People Get Ready, but The Wailers recorded One Love at Studio One nearly 20 years earlier. Clement Dodd passed away in 2004, doing what he loved, working in his Brentford Rd. Studio in Kingston, Jamaica. He was awarded Jamaicas Order Of Distinction, was inducted into Reggae Hall Of Fame, and Brentford Rd. was renamed Studio One Boulevard, yet nothing speaks more eloquently of his contributions than the music of Studio One.
