"The Kenny Dalglish of reggae"
(Peel bestows the ultimate superlative, 14 February 1979)
Lee "Scratch" Perry (born Rainford Hugh Perry, 20 March 1936, Kendal, Jamaica, died 29 August 2021) was a musician and producer who had been influential in the development and acceptance of reggae and dub music in Jamaica and overseas. He employed numerous pseudonyms, including Pipecock Jackxon and The Upsetter.
In the early 1970s Lee Scratch Perry was one of the producers whose mixing board experiments resulted in the creation of dub. In 1973, Perry built a studio in his back yard, The Black Ark, to have more control over his productions and continued to produce notable musicians such as Bob Marley & the Wailers, Junior Byles, Junior Murvin, the Heptones, The Congos and Max Romeo.

By 1978, stress and unwanted outside influences began to take their toll: both Perry and The Black Ark quickly fell into a state of disrepair. Eventually, the studio burned to the ground. Perry had constantly insisted that he burned the Black Ark himself in a fit of rage … (read more at Wikipedia)
