Alton Ellis' birthplace was the Trench Town ghetto of Kingston, also the birthplace of The Wailers, Ken Boothe and many other Studio One luminaries.\nClement Dodd established a musical empire firmly rooted by the core musicians working at Studio One, many of whom came out of the Alpha School for Wayward Boys, essentially an orphanage run by Roman Catholic nuns, whose luminaries include Don Drummond, Johnny Moore, Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace, Cedric Brooks, Vin Gordon, Tommy McCook \u0026amp; more. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\nMany of the songs featured here come from the transitory phase in reggae at the start of the 1970s, after the exhilaration of Ska and following the cooling down of Rocksteady. While reggae awaited the arrival of roots, Studio One's vocalists were already producing some of the moodiest music imaginable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509576024317,"sku":"11063090","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/9384\/6695\/files\/LP-BlackMansPride-frt.jpg?v=1778162127","url":"https:\/\/spintimerecords.com\/products\/studio-one-black-mans-pride-2lp","provider":"Spin Time Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
