Clement ‘Coxsone’ Dodd

Coxsone Dodd, one of Jamaica's top producers, was to his music what Berry Gordy and James Brown were to soul music.

His help to Bob Marley has been well documented recently and he also served as a mentor for future production wizards like Lee Perry and Niney.

Jamaica is an extraordinarily beautiful country made up of extraordinary people. Awe-inspiring contours adorn the landscape, with insurmountable peaks that soar into the sky. Our rivers and streams are everywhere, r...
