Slim Smith

BORN IN 1948 IN JAMAICA. HE STARTED OUT IN THE EARLY 60’S AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE TECHNIQUES BEFORE JOINING THE RANKS OF COXSONE WHERE HE RECORDED THE TIMELESS ALBUM ‘BORN TO LOVE YOU’. HE WENT ON TO RECORD WITH BUNNY LEE BOTH AS A SOLO ARTIST AND AS PART OF THE UNIQUES INCLUDING THE HIT ‘MY CONVERSATION’ (THIS TRACK IS STILL TO THIS DAY THE MOST VERSIONED RHYTHM IN REGGAE). PERSONAL TROUBLES HAUNTED SLIM AND HE SADLY COMMITTED SUCIDED AT AN EARLY AGE - A HUGE LOSS TO REGGAE MUSIC AND A SAD LOSS TO US ALL.
