about

Lloyd Campbell (Kingston Jamaica, June 4, 1948 - October 4, 2016) was a Jamaican reggae producer and singer. He attended Greenwich Farm Primary school. As a youth, aged 12-13, Lloyd used to visit Sound System dances, mostly standing outside listening not being allowed to enter due to his tender age. It was his first inspiration to start getting in to the music. When he went to England in the early 1960's he got involved with the sound Tom the Great Sebastian. This in turn gave him inspiration to start his own sound Lloyd the Matador by the mid 60's. At this time he and his sound was based in Brixton, South London. At this time he also started showing interest in recording - cutting some songs with Rico Rodriguez, Joe Mansano and the latters group the Rudies. He also produced sides with Pat Rhoden and Winston Groovy. By 1972 he had returned to Jamaica once again and recorded the group Rocking Horse that featured Keith Poppin. With Poppin he recorded the song "Same Thing For Breakfast" which was a sizeable hit. The song had originally been cut in England with Winston Groovy. He also recorded "I'm Your Puppet" in early '75 with Jimmy London that also would prove to be a hit. He also would record with singer Tyrone Taylor. Lloyd was by this time associating with a group of musicians that would form the core of the group Skin Flesh & Bones. In 1975 the group laid a track for vocalist Joy White on which she sang "Dread Out Deh". The song had originally been written by singer Mon
