Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix

Junior Murvin was born Murvin Smith on July 22, 1946, in Port Antonio, Jamaica, and raised in Kingston, where he began singing in the 1960s as part of local harmony groups. His early recordings leaned toward rocksteady and soul-influenced reggae, but it wasn’t until the mid-1970s that his voice, a high, falsetto style sometimes compared to Curtis Mayfield, became fully recognized. Murvin’s sound stood out in an era dominated by heavy roots vocals, giving his music an emotional, haunting quality that would later define his most important work.   Junior Murvin - Childhood Sweetheart The Upsetter Revue; Junior Murvin - Closer Together Junior Murvin - Roots Train Junior Murvin - Cool Out Son Junior Murvin - False Teachin' Junior Murvin - Give Me Your Love Junior Murvin - Muggers In The Street Junior Murvin - Tedious Junior Murvin - Police & Thieves Junior Murvin - Memories - 12" Version Junior Murvin - Judas And Jesus Junior Murvin - Rebellion Junior Murvin; Jango - Bam Bam Bam Junior Murvin - Bad Man Possee Junior Murvin - World Inflation

Some artists belong to a moment. Johnny Osbourne is part of the evolution of reggae, dating back to the 1960s and the Studio One world, to the raw energy of 1980s dancehall. Osbourne didn’t just adapt to change; he carried his voice through it all while delivering his unique vocal style. Studio One foundations Johnny Osbourne came up at Studio One, and early recordings like “See and Blind” showcase a young vocalist steeped in soul, restraint, and melodic control. Studio One was a label but also a fertile training ground, a boot camp for many young artists over the years, and Osbourne took it all in. By the mid–1970s, Osbourne moved beyond Studio One and began shaping a more personal sound - his tone grew stronger and more street-aware. Tracks like “Truths and Rights” and “Ready or Not” feel like a bridge, still rooted in roots reggae, but miles away from his first Studio One Recordings. When dancehall took over in the early 1980s, many roots singers faded into obscurity. Osbourne didn’t. Instead of fighting the shift, he leaned into it — applying a roots-trained voice to harder, faster riddims. Songs like “Buddy Bye,” “Folly Ranking,” and “No Ice Cream Sound” became sound system staples, built for crowd reaction and rewind culture. It’s been 6 decades since the 77-year-old released his first music, and he is still recording to this day. That is a remarkable career and legacy.
