As far as musical milestones go they don’t get much bigger than Lincoln Barrington Sugar Minott. It seems the singer Sugar Minott, who died on Saturday, July 10, following a suspected heart attack, has been around almost from the beginning of time.
Certainly his musical output from the earliest in the late 1960s to his current album “New Day” due to be released soon, suggests this. He is one of the few reggae artists to have had hits in every decade since their arrival in the business.
Sugar Minott is typically used to simultaneously topping mainstream, as well as underground, independent and reggae charts. His “Good Thing Going” scored a massive hit for him in the UK during the 1980s and it was (and still is) quite novel to see a reggae artists on national television.
He is also one whose versatility crosses music styles, seemingly able to switch from moving love songs to deep spiritual tomes praising Jah, before surfing onto the pop channel, then back again into the latest dancehall style, all without skipping much of a beat.
He is truly an original and as such can never be replaced, regardless how often he is studied and copied. To say he will be missed is an obvious understatement. His music, as shown in the list below, will live on. Enjoy.
