<p>Michael May, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies.  May began his career on the sound system circuit, performing with

<a href="labelDetail.jsp?lid=102">Stone Love</a>, Small Axe, Rambo Mango and his own Sweet Love set.  He often performed alongside his DJ sibling,

<a href="artistDetail.jsp?aid=1915">Red Dragon</a>, with whom he nurtured the careers of <a href="artistDetail.jsp?aid=305">Buju Banton</a> and

<a href="artistDetail.jsp?aid=752">Terry Ganzie</a>.  May released a succession of combination hits, including <em>"How You So Hot"</em> with

<a href="artistDetail.jsp?aid=715">Brian & Tony Gold </a> , <em>"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"</em> with Thriller U,<em>"Go Sit Down"</em> with

<a href="artistDetail.jsp?aid=870">Clement Irie</a>, <em>"Dungle Lover"</em> and <em>"Madly In Love"</em> with Sanchez, <em>"Jump and Spread Out" </em>and <em>"Turn and Stab"</em> with Daddy Lizard, alongside  the favoured <em>"Million An More" </em>and the chart-topping <em>"Zig It Up"</em>, both of which featured the enigmatic Ninjaman.  </p>
<p>Following May's successful combination with the controversial DJ,

<a href="artistDetail.jsp?aid=364">Ninjaman</a> curiously released  the contemptuous <em>"Last Of The Flourgon"</em>.  The latter, however, had little impact on Flourgon's career and his distinctive gritty voice continued to grace a profusion of vinyl releases. He enjoyed a notable partnership with Mikey Bennett and Patrick Lindsay, primarily of his  version of the "Oil Thing" rhythm, "Bow Ting".  Other solo hits included "Tender Touch", <em>"Bounce"</em>, <em>"Fret And Worry"</em>, <em>"Trophy"</em>, <em>"Live Good"</em>, <em>"Bad Boy Tune"</em>, and <em>"Follow Me."</em> Flourgon is regarded as an influential DJ who inspired a wave of sonorous vocalitsts. </p>
