| | Coxsone was the unassuming general of this musical army, charting this remarkable course in history. | | | Sir Clement "Coxsone" Dodd is one of the pioneers of Jamaican pop music - from ska to early dancehall, spanning over four decades and involving almost all of the significant figures in Jamaican music. | | | Whether Coxsone was an exploiter or not, it still does not tarnish his remarkable contribution to our music business and his influence in making Jamaican music, like ska, rock steady, reggae and dancehall, a global phenomenon. |

| | Coxsone's dapper goatee has gone salt-and-pepper, and he now moves with a slow, almost grandfatherly deliberation, but his story is, in many ways, the story of reggae itself—and by extension, the musical tableau of a nation. | | | In the meantime, I just praise God and try to do the best I can." Coxsone estimates that 60 percent of the tracks he's recorded are still unreleased, and he is now releasing and repackaging material through Heartbeat Records. | | | And he survived." Under Coxsone's tutelage, the Wailers recorded some of their most memorable compositions, including "Simmer Down," "One Love," and "Put It On," reflecting a political acumen previously rare in Jamaican music. |

| | Dodd was present at the genesis of Jamaican popular music, evolving from a DJ to a sound-system entrepreneur to a producer to the first black studio owner in Jamaica. | | | Dodd's theme song was a Willis "Gator" Jackson jump blues called "Later for Gator," which he retitled "Coxsone's Hop"; the story goes that Duke Reid finally discovered the song's true identity and first played it at a DJ battle with Dodd, who nearly passed out with shock. | | | In 1963, Dodd opened the first black-owned recording studio in Jamaica on Brentford Road in Kingston; officially called the Jamaican Recording and Publishing Studio, it came to be known as Studio One, which also served as the name of Dodd's signature label from then on. |

| | Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd, the record producer who died on Tuesday aged 72, was credited with launching the career of the reggae star Bob Marley and was a hugely influential figure in the development of Jamaican music. | | | The multiple imprints were a ruse to hide the range of Dodd's output and bamboozle radio disc jockeys who grew tired of being bombarded with his releases. | | | Dodd became a father figure to Marley, letting him live in a back room at the studio when he found that the singer did not have a home. |

| | In 1959, Dodd started his own label and record store/distributorship to meet the demand for the unexpectedly popular homegrown music he was fostering. | | | Dodd spent most of the ’80s and ’90s hunting down artists and producers who had recorded knockoffs of Studio One tracks to demand payment, and licensing those same tracks—more than 6,000 songs by some estimates—for numberless compilations and reissues. | | | Born in Kingston in 1932, Dodd grew up in a Jamaica that imported most of its pop music from the United States, mostly jazz and RandB. |
