.MMY # Notes.........: BIOGRAPHY .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: I was born a humble man in 1954 in Hanover, Westmoreland -- a small, peacefulC
.MMY # Notes.........: area of the Jamaican countryside. It was here that I started to sing for myself --
.MMY # Notes.........: outside, surrounded by nature. Otis Redding was my favorite singer and I loved
.MMY # Notes.........: "I've Got Dreams to Remember You By". I Stayed in the countryside until I wasC
.MMY # Notes.........: 17, then moved to Kingston where I shared a tiny rotting shack with my brother,
.MMY # Notes.........: and got a job in a factory. When you're a young Jamaican and you're smack C
.MMY # Notes.........: bang in the middle of the countryside, nothing happens and you have only one C
.MMY # Notes.........: desire -- to leave and do something with your life. So, after a while, you head for
.MMY # Notes.........: the towns, where you can try and make things happen. And that's what I did. C
.MMY # Notes.........: .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: When I first arrived in Kingston, I stopped singing. Too many people, too much
.MMY # Notes.........: noise everywhere -- I felt intimidated. Gradually, over time, I started singing again
.MMY # Notes.........: -- in the morning, on the way to work and in the evening, on the way home. Then,
.MMY # Notes.........: after a while, I started singing at work and it was there I wrote my first two songs,
.MMY # Notes.........: 'Vank Out' and 'African Sister'. I started to grow my dreads -- it was the beginning
.MMY # Notes.........: of the 1970s, and I had begun to mix with the Rasta community. We'd sit C
.MMY # Notes.........: together around the fire in the ghetto, smoking herb in the challis and talking
.MMY # Notes.........: about God, about Jah Rastafari, the Almighty. We reasoned, read passages fromC
.MMY # Notes.........: the Bible and evoked our African roots. We were reviving our culture. It was there
.MMY # Notes.........: that I realised that I'd always been a Rasta. I just needed the spark that would
.MMY # Notes.........: reveal this to me. All those evenings spent with the old Rastas gave me the key. I
.MMY # Notes.........: began to understand who I was and what spiritual voice I should follow. At this
.MMY # Notes.........: time, I wasn't in contact with any musicians, I just sang for myself. Then one day
.MMY # Notes.........: I was sacked from my job because of my dreads -- and that was how everything C
.MMY # Notes.........: started. I said to myself that, with my redundancy money, I must throw myselfC
.MMY # Notes.........: seriously into music. It was now or never. .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: I went to see a guy I knew on the corner of Chancery Lane and told him I wanted
.MMY # Notes.........: to record a song. He took me uptown to buy two cassettes: one for the music C
.MMY # Notes.........: and one for mixing. In those days, you could hire musicians for as little as 20
.MMY # Notes.........: Jamaican dollars and I managed to get some of the Roots Radics. At that time,C
.MMY # Notes.........: they still weren't the complete line-up, but I had the good fortune to get Bingy
.MMY # Notes.........: Bunny, Flabba Holt, and Dumbo. I reserved a bit of studio time at the ChannelC
.MMY # Notes.........: One studio in Maxfield Avenue and we recorded 'Vank Out'. I paid for the pressing
.MMY # Notes.........: of the 45s and put them out on a white label. I started selling them in the street
.MMY # Notes.........: near the studio, at Randy's -- everywhere. A few months later, I recorded andC
.MMY # Notes.........: distributed 'African Sister' the same way, but things started to get difficult. The
.MMY # Notes.........: pressure was too great and it was costing me too much money. I didn't earn C
.MMY # Notes.........: much and found the stress, hunger, and pain of it too much. I was forced to go
.MMY # Notes.........: back to the ghetto, spending my nights with the other Rastas, smoking challisC
.MMY # Notes.........: until three in the morning, singing, writing, praying, and praising Jah, eating ital.
.MMY # Notes.........: Living in the ghetto was like living in shit, but we survived, or at least tried.
.MMY # Notes.........: .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: One day I met Bim Sherman at the record-pressing factory. That was in 1975 orC
.MMY # Notes.........: 1976. He said, "Man, I heard your song 'Vank Out' and I like the way you sing. I
.MMY # Notes.........: really like your style and sound. Believe me, you should keep it up." So I started
.MMY # Notes.........: singing again with renewed confidence. Along with Bim Sherman and sacks of C
.MMY # Notes.........: our singles, we left to do a tour of all the studios: King Tubby's, Treasure Isle,
.MMY # Notes.........: Channel One, Tuff Gong -- the cream. We sold our songs in the studios' C
.MMY # Notes.........: courtyards. Miss Patsy Chin from Randy's let me sell them near her shop, too.C
.MMY # Notes.........: She helped me a lot by getting me to do odd jobs for her in exchange for a little
.MMY # Notes.........: money. .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: People started to hear my songs and know more about me. I started chilling with
.MMY # Notes.........: Gregory Isaacs. Then one day, Bingy Bunny came to me and said, "Peter, I'm C
.MMY # Notes.........: going on tour in London with Gregory and I want you to record a few songs forC
.MMY # Notes.........: me to take over there for people to hear." I said OK then, let's go! The Roots
.MMY # Notes.........: Radics laid down the music to 'Forward Natty Dread', 'I Don't Know', and 'Never
.MMY # Notes.........: Forget Jah' in two hours at Channel One. Then a few weeks passed before we C
.MMY # Notes.........: could put the vocals down and mix everything, which we did at King Tubby's C
.MMY # Notes.........: studio in Waterhouse. When Bunny finally managed to book Tubby's, it was onlyC
.MMY # Notes.........: for two hours -- two hours for three songs! When we arrived, there was a singer
.MMY # Notes.........: in the studio I didn't know, who was having a nightmare and eating into my time.
.MMY # Notes.........: He was using the same beat as 'Forward Natty Dread' so I went outside to C
.MMY # Notes.........: practice my singing. Just then, Bingy bounced out of the studio and told me too
.MMY # Notes.........: go in and sing what I'd just sung immediately, exactly the same. The other guy
.MMY # Notes.........: had to move over for me, and I went in and did it in one take. I sang my other two
.MMY # Notes.........: songs at the end, and my work was done. Man -- in quarter of an hour it was C
.MMY # Notes.........: done! .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: I slipped in another couple of things of my own, too. I was about leave the booth
.MMY # Notes.........: when I heard, "D'you want to do an album?" through the cans. "If I send you the
.MMY # Notes.........: riddims, have you got enough lyrics for an album?" I screamed out, "YEEESSS C
.MMY # Notes.........: MAAAAAAN! Run de tracks!" So they sent through the riddims and I added the C
.MMY # Notes.........: words. I did everything in one take, every song. (And that's why the album's C
.MMY # Notes.........: called Progressive Youth, because I'd moved steadily forward, without any major
.MMY # Notes.........: disasters.) The boys in the studio had never seen anything like me before! C
.MMY # Notes.........: Approaching the 10th track, I heard, "Peter, give us this one DJ style and it will be
.MMY # Notes.........: 10! Try it!" I don't know why they said that, but anyway, I heard "deejay dis one
.MMY # Notes.........: and make it 10" and that's why 'Give Thanks' is in a DJ style. It was totallyC
.MMY # Notes.........: improvised -- the only song I'd ever done that way. All my singles were then C
.MMY # Notes.........: distributed in England on the Ital label and featured such renowned musicians as
.MMY # Notes.........: Bingy Bunny on guitar, or course, the bassist from the Roots Radics Flabba Holt,
.MMY # Notes.........: pianist Gladstone Anderson, drummer Style Scott, and Bongo Herman. [The C
.MMY # Notes.........: album Progressive Youth has since become a vinyl-collector's rarity.] C
.MMY # Notes.........: .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: In late 1979 -- early 1980, I was hanging out in the forecourt of Channel OneC
.MMY # Notes.........: studios when I got a chance to cut a vocal. In the end, I recorded nine singles
.MMY # Notes.........: with Coxsone, and only one was released -- 'Sing A New Song', which appeared C
.MMY # Notes.........: on the B-side of a 12" by Brigadier Jerry called 'Every Man Is My Bredren Still'.
.MMY # Notes.........: The other songs never saw daylight. I then recorded with Prince Far I. We often
.MMY # Notes.........: met in the studio. They let us get on and do what we wanted. 'Jah Golden Throne'
.MMY # Notes.........: and 'I A Field Marshall', recorded with the Roots Radics, both came from these
.MMY # Notes.........: sessions. A few months later, Doctor Dread asked me if I had enough for an C
.MMY # Notes.........: album. I said yes and he booked Studio One, paid the Radics, and we went intoC
.MMY # Notes.........: the studio. [A mix of hypnotic roots and dancehall, the eight masterpieces C
.MMY # Notes.........: remain, to this day, arguably his most beautiful work Broggs followed up with the
.MMY # Notes.........: Rise And Shine album in 1985, featuring his experimental 'Rastaman Chant C
.MMY # Notes.........: Nyahbingi'. The complex and astonishing 'Cease The War' was released in 1987 C
.MMY # Notes.........: and the excellent and lesser-known 'Reasoning' in 1990 -- recorded at Tuff Gong
.MMY # Notes.........: Studios, mixed at Lion and Fox.] .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: .. ; C
.MMY # Notes.........: I've always liked to put across positive messages, those that evoke God, those
.MMY # Notes.........: that show to people the existence of a beautiful and living God. The words that
.MMY # Notes.........: come out when I sing, Jah puts there for me. I am only a servant, and I try, thanks
.MMY # Notes.........: to Him, to guide His children down the right path. My whole career has been in
.MMY # Notes.........: the name of Jah Rastafari. I am a messenger of Jah. All I can do is use the gifts
.MMY # Notes.........: he gave me. .. ; C
