Milton Henry.

Besides being one of the most positive and easy-going guys inna the business, the singer, Milton Henry is a living repository for the history of Jamaican music from the days of Rock-Steady to early reggae to the deep roots of New York's Bullwackies studio. What hasn't Milton Henry done? Well, let's review: In the 60s he was a member of the great RockSteady gorup THE LEADERS with Prince Alla, he then was in the Progressions and finally with The Emotions with Max Romeo and Audley Rollins. He then played guitar with the Hippy Boys as well as cutting the PHENOMENAL roots single THIS WORLD under the name King Medious. Along the way he moved to New York and linked with the Bullwackies camp and cut a great solo album with them as well as singing back up for the Congos and Meditations. Other than that the man has produced music, owned a record label, toured the world, ran record stores and has remained a vital force in Jamaican music. Nuff Respect to Milton Henry!
