My favorite book on reggae is probably Beth Lesser's book about King Jammy. Her new book tells the story of the iconic artist/sound man Sugar Minott. Essential reading material!
The Legend of Sugar Minott and Youth Promotion is both a biography of the legendary Jamaican vocalist and a history of the sound system Youth Promotion. Sugar Minott spent his life making music and helping talented youth get ahead in the business. He devoted himself so completely to reggae music and to the youth that he was responsible for uncovering and developing some of the most celebrated talents of dance hall. A huge influence on the course of modern reggae, Sugar Minott is a true legend in Jamaican music. This special Muzik Tree edition features many never before published photographs of Sugar, his family and the whole crew.
