http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SqGei_yFUo WE Wanted to take a moment out and share the wonder of our Idren Mikey Dread - before the world fades him to Black. Having spent a few hours chatting here and there with Mikey, I feel empowered to relay his message in His Way . Mikey was an extraordinary individual; as charismatic and talented as the day was long. His charm opened many doors - and his personal choices slammed others shut. Mikey Left Us on Saturday March 15, 2008 at approximately 4:30pm in Connecticut; surrounded by his loving family and relishing in his glorious career and lifetime accomplishments It may be years before we see the full payout from his shrewd business decisions come to fruition in platinum sales. But be assured that with Mushiya and Monika - Mikey s Angels at the helm, his legacy will continue to Flourish and Grow for many many years to come. Mikey left at least two albums in different stages of completion; and we are sure that in time when the vault is opened, we will find masterpieces of Mikeys Creativity readied for release. who knows how many reels of unconverted tape Mikey kept in secret boxes. during our interview he hinted to me that he had several Unfinished Edi Fitzroy cuts - that he planned to release if they resumed their collaboration. which now will never happen. I still wonder if those gems will see the light of day, when Monika decides what to release and when. Unlike many other great Reggae Producers and Talents - Mikey controlled the rights and business contracts of his musical productions to the end. His legacy will yield gold for his family; as he designed in his last years. when things got bad in the early years, Mikey held back signing contracts after deals stunted his growth prematurely. he knew that if he controlled his music, and his distribution - he would be a hit, always. Today I realized that during the final 3 years of Mikeys time with us, he built the foundation of stability that will sustain his legacy. His marriage to Monika left a sour taste in the mouths of some, but for Mikey it was Pure Joy. Monika provided Mikey with his final platinum act - A Son Jah Light - born in October of 2007 - and from all reports, The Apple Of His Fathers Eye. We spoke with Reggae Superstar and Radio Personality Edi Fitzroy and The Musical Ambassador Trevor Elliott; Two of Mikeys oldest business confidants; last night, about their relationships with Mikey Dread. They both related to me their memories in balmy terms of how Mikey did business - Shrewdly. I know personally that for Edi, it has been very difficult personally to deal with the memories of their painful breakup as a duo - because he often felt disappointed in the loss of such a great collaborative team. they both went on to become blockbuster artists in their own rights; but when we look back, wouldn t we all want to hear just one more tune with Edi and Mikey.. I know I sure did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfGwU6n2cXA During my interview with Mikey in June 2007, we talked in length about his feelings about the break up with Edi Fitzroy; and he was also still sad and he lamented to me openly about the loss of both their working collaboration and the damage it did to their friendship. I learned from Edi just last night that Mikey had phoned him last while he was in California performing; and that they had discussed the possibility of a two man tour. Edi told me that Mikey had said Ok, come mek we do it ; finally. I believe Mikey said it, to instill hope in Edi that their friendship was again on the uproad to repair. Mikey undoubtedly knew by this time that his tumor had returned; and I personally believe that he was already in preparation for his longterm treatment. maybe the tour was on his bucket list - who knows with Mikey Dread; as he always teased you with possibility. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK04f_pm2-E how great that would have been. to see the two lions roaring side by side. the world will never have that chance now that Mikey has left us and gone to Zion. When I spoke to Trevor Elliott earlier today, he casually informed me that Mikey Forced him into the booth, to act as engineer and to record African Map . This is the very tune he handed to Trevor, as he made plans to move from Florida to North Carolina last summer. Trevor had no idea that this would be his last time sitting and drinking a juice with his idren, Mikey Dread. this past fall when Trevor got the call about the tumor, he was afraid this would be Mikey s last fight. he knew how hard the previous battle had been for Mikey, with the first tumor; and that Mikey had resigned himself to Do As Much Work as He Could, before he couldn t. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM8aQeMlIuE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bcK0V6v3GA Mikey Was A Work a Holic to the end.. having dates still booked; even after he was diagnosed with the deadly brain tumor. Mikey never gave up hope, or complained about his illness. he was a perfect example of preparation in action for your trip to zion. I am deeply saddened by the loss of My Friend and Mentor, Mikey Dread - but mostly I am glad to have had the privilege of being the One He Trusted, enough to Give His Final Interview for the world. We Shall Celebrate Mikey Dread s Nine Night in collabaration with Foundationsound.co.uk; reggaenostalgia.com; musicalambassador.com and mikeydread.com. We ask you to please remember Mikey s Family in Your Prayers, and to Visit Mikey s Website and Enjoy the Photos, Music and Purchase Mementos of Dread At The Controls. Please take a moment and listen to Mikey Dread s Final Interview - with Mama ASID of BadGalsRadio from June 2007. if you want to know the facts Listen To This Podcast, This is an official Dread at the Controls Inc. Release With heavy hearts we at the Dread at the Controls Inc. would like to inform the World of the Passing of Jamaica s most Profound Reggae Star, Innovator, Producer and Entertainer. The Original JBC Dread at the Controls selector Michael Mikey Dread Campbell. 1954-2008 Mikey leaves to mourn his wife: Monika and their son 4 month old son Zylen Jahlight, along with 3 sons - Damian (Canada) Kevin and Michael Jr. (Jamaica) 3 daughters - Dionne (England), Nicole (Houston,TX), daughter in Belize. 2 Sisters (USA) and 2 brothers (USA).

Through this ordeal, Mikey remained upbeat, he lived his life to the fullest, was loved by many and in the end was surrounded in Love and was cared for by his sister, wife, nieces, nephews and brothers in Connecticut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfANkOkMx_8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SatwjXJQn_w MIKEY DREAD Michael Campbell, a.k.a. Mikey Dread is one of the most influential performers and innovators in reggae music. His abilities, technical expertise, and unique vocal delivery combine to create a unique sound that tells the listener emphatically that it is the Dread at the Controls. Perhaps Mikey s work with The Clash has garnered him with the most recognition, but his credentials and resume started long before his eye-opening production on several releases with the renowned Punk Stars from London. His work and interaction with The Clash was a significant event in the integration of reggae into popular music throughout the world. The album, Black Market Clash , is a brilliant fusion of late 1970 s punk rock and a heavy reggae bass and drum line. The reggae aspect of The Clash s album distinguished their sound from the other punks that emerged in the 1970 s. Soon thereafter, it was a must for just about every punk band to have a reggae cover song on their album. Mikey was the first Producer ever to produce a UK chart hit for The Clash Bank Robber and later produced several reggae cuts on their internationally recognized Album Sandinista. Mikey s avid interest in reggae music led him to acquire an immense collection of crucial vinyl which he used to gain notoriety as a young DJ and audio engineer with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) where he began his broadcasting career in 1976. There he developed his own unique broadcasting style, which has been adopted by virtually every reggae radio show in Jamaica and the world today. His radio show, which became known as Dread at the Controls, was firmly established as the Number One Radio Show in Jamaica. Mikey was awarded Top Radio Personality of the Year in 1977-1978. In 1979, having resigned from JBC, Mikey decided to expand his career by getting more involved in the actual production of not only his own music, but also the work of others such as Sugar Minott, Junior Murvin, Earl Sixteen, Wally Bucker, Sunshine, Jah Grundy and Rod Taylor. His activities attracted the attention of The Clash, who asked Mikey to work with them. They produced Bank Robber and the already mentioned Black Market Clash , which sold over 3 million copies. His work on The Clash s most famous album Sandinista is internationally recognized. Mikey studied at the National Broadcasting School in London where he perfected his media production/radio broadcasting skills, graduating with special commendations in 1980. Mikey Dread has used his great and refined engineering talents to further reggae music in the United Kingdom and the world. He believes in a multimedia approach to publicizing reggae. Some of his works in the United Kingdom include narrating reggae documentaries, hosting series such as Rockers Roadshow and the ever popular six-part Channel 4 reggae documentary series Deep Roots Music . Pave the Way did what the title suggest for Mikey s career by appealing to a broad audience with catchy numbers like the track s Reggae Hit Shot , a dance song on the Hustle rhythm. The album Happy Family is another step in the evolution of Mikey s upbeat sound. He later recorded The Source (Of Your Divorce) for Warner Brothers Records USA, which obtained regularly rotated video airplay on BET as well as on MTV s hip-hop/rap program Yo MTV Raps . MTV s Sunsplash Special, which was shot in his native Jamaica, featured Mikey s video in 1990. Mikey released Mikey Dread s Best Sellers (Rykodisc, 1991), a stunning compilation of Mikey s best known songs including Barber Saloon (#1 on Jamaican and British Reggae charts in 1979), and the classic Roots and Culture . Mikey then went on to record Profile and African Anthem Revisited (RAS Records, 1991). He toured in Europe and the USA with Freddie McGregor, Lloyd Parks and We The People Band and also the Roots Radics Band. In 1992, he collaborated with former Guns n Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin on a duet entitled Can t Hear Em . He also headlined a charity event in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he earned a merit award from the Mayor. Other projects during this period include producing the Ju Ju Hounds on Can t Hear Em and Pressure Drop . One of his tracks Breakdown the Walls was featured in the movie The Rift. Also in this year he was nominated for a NAIRD award, an award from the Billboard Magazine, for his work on his album Mikey Dread s Best Sellers . In 1993, Mikey Dread was involved in several projects, including his tour supporting the album Obsession and working in TV with the Caribbean Satellite Network (CSN) where he was Program Director and On Air personality as well as Producer of various shows. These shows included Artists Profile , New Video Showcase , Video Dub Plate , Christmas Around The Caribbean , Christmas with the Children , Celebrity Guest DJ , a mini documentary on the music of Trinidad and Tobago and The Bob Marley Hall of Fame Induction . Mikey furthered his knowledge of TV/Video Production at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, where he graduated in 1996 with Honors and at Lynn University in Boca Raton / Florida where he earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Communications, with Magna Cum Laude honors. Other activities done by The Innovator include working for the Video Jukebox as voice-over talent in several Reggae TV Commercials. The Culture Award of Honor in the Martin s International Reggae Music Awards in Chicago was presented to him in 1994. He also participated in the Caribbean Music Festival as an Entertainment Consultant in Nassau / Bahamas throughout the 1990 s. In 1995, he worked as a Radio DJ for WAVS 1170 AM and WAXY-AM 790 in Miami, Florida. In 1996 he participated in the Essential Music Festival as a performer in Brighton, U.K. He worked as a News Photographer for Metro Video shooting daily TV news stories for NBC-6 News station in Miami / Florida and in the summer of 1998 he performed at several European Festivals in Germany, Belgium and Austria. In February 1999 Mikey performed with the School Band at the 18th Annual Bob Marley Day show in San Diego and also at the Long Beach Arena in California. One of the better character traits of Mikey Dread is that he has refused to over saturate the Reggae market by simply not appearing on every Reggae event. This has helped him to maintain his credibility and mystique. Michael Campbell is a man of world diversity and immense resourcefulness. His rhythms have defined reggae and have helped with its global development. From Pave The Way to Breaking Down the Walls , there is a unique blend of rhythms only found in the man that everyone seems to see as Dread at the Controls . Mikey Dread s origination of reggae broadcast programming has given the world a formula for reggae that has been adopted by DJ s and broadcast networks worldwide. Today Mikey Dread continues his mission taking Reggae music door to door with the release of his Limited Edition CD World Tour however his 1980 album World War III has begun selling huge numbers again. Throughout the years 1998-2001 Mikey has been making impressive and captivating live concert performances with the Fully Fullwood Band across Hawaii and California. Most recently he has performed in Brighton, England with his UK Band Colors late October 2001 getting rave reviews and requests from other venues to return to Europe in 2002. His performances in Italy in November 2001 in Bari and Rome has re-established him as one of the original roots reggae icons of the mid-seventies/early 80s reggae era of Jamaican music. His mission continues, globally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SatwjXJQn_w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbvbmlkYwnM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnNWV5jkyXQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTI_yJta8lY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDt1tdppuj8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ybiqijhIc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjSkDfEv7_c Copyright 2008 BadGalsRadio ~ I-riginal 100%GalBassed RooticalTruth.

Legendary producer died at 65 Friday, 22 February 2008 One of Jamaica s top record producers in the 1970 s, Joe Gibbs, is dead. Mr. Gibbs died Thursday night at the University Hospital of the West Indies after suffering a heart attack. He started his music career as a technician but made history in the Jamaican music industry with the production of several popular songs. Under his belt were songs by the likes of Beres Hammond, J C Lodge and Dennis Brown. Another Producer, Grub Cooper remembered Gibbs as a man who knew music. Joe Gibbs was in the seventies one of the biggest and best producers because he had a particular sound and that sound permeated throughout the whole music fraternity in those days. As a matter a fact even until today, his influence is there. He did produce many hits for Dennis Brown, the number one record, JC Lodge s ‘Someone Loves you Honey , which went number one in Europe and other places. He did a lot of work with the Diamonds and many other artistes. He s actually touched the life of most of the artistes in that era, he said. Joe Gibbs died at the age of 65. To the Family of Joe Gibbs, Artists, Friends, Fans and Colleagues, including Our Own Musical Ambassador - Trevor Elliott. We at BadGalsRadio, ASID HI-Power and Trenchtones Records express our deepest heartfelt sympathy on the Passing to Zion; of one of our Idols, the One and Only Mr. Joel Gibbs. Brother Joe Was a True Legend.. Always Setting the Mark High and Raising it Higher with each release. Thank You JOE This is from the Reggae Wikipedia - Joe Gibbs (born Joel A. Gibson in Montego Bay, 1943, died of heart attack 21 February 2008[1])[2] was a Jamaican reggae producer. After some time spent in the United States as an electronic engineer, Gibbs went back to Kingston, and opened a repair TV shop at 32 Beeston Street where he soon started to sell records.[2] The fast growth of the local music scene encouraged him to be more involved in the business, and in 1967 he started to record some artists in the back of his shop with a two-track tape machine and the already established Lee Perry who had just ended his association with Clement Coxsone Dodd. In 1968, with the help of Bunny Lee, he launched his Amalgamated label, and had his first success with one of the earliest rock steady tunes, Roy Shirley s Hold Them .[3]After Perry went away to set his own label Upsetters , Gibbs enrole the young Winston Niney Holness (later known as Niney The Observer) who helped maintain Gibbs production on the top of the charts. During the rock steady period til 1970, he met success with numerous smashing hits of vocalists like The Pioneers, Errol Dunkey, and Ken Parker, and worked with backing bands like Lynn Taitt and the Jets (including the organist Ansel Collins, and horns players Tommy McCook, Johnny Dizzy Moore, Bobby Ellis and Vin Gordon), or The Hippy Boys (featuring the Barrett brothers as the rhythm section). He switched to the reggae sound with his first international success Love of the Common People by Nicky Thomas (#9 in the UK charts in summer 1970).[3] He kept on recording famous artists like The Ethiopians, Delroy Wilson, and The Heptones (the two volumes of his singles compilations The Heptones and Friends were bestsellers in Jamaica). During this period he launched three new labels; Jogib, Shock, and Pressure Beat and also opened his New York Record Mart at 11 South Parade.[2] In 1972, after having moved his studio in the Duhaney Park district, he set up a new one at 20 North Parade and started to work with the sound engineer Errol Thompson, who used to be at Randy s Studio.[2] Together, known as The Mighty Two , along with his studio band known as The Professionals (that includes bassist Robbie Shakespeare, drummer Sly Dunbar and guitarist Earl Chinna Smith) they produced hundreds of singles including the hits Money In My Pocket by Dennis Brown and Ah So We Stay by Big Youth and Eviction by Black Uhuru. The duo worked on over 100 Jamaican number one hits.[2] In 1975, he set up his new 16-track studio and record pressing plant at 24 Retirement Crescent and kept on producing Jamaican artists under numerous label names (Crazy Joe, Reflections, Belmont, Town most internationally acclaimed production, with a major impact on the punk band The Clash. Other successful artists produced by the Mighty Two during the end of the seventies include Marcia Aitken, Althea s hit of Someone Loves You Honey . He didn t pay any royalties to the song s writer, Charley Pride, who sued and won. Unable to pay the huge settlement ordered by the Court, Gibbs went out of business.[2] In 1993, he went back on the Jamaican scene, reissuing works from his enormous catalogue on the Rocky One label his son Carl had started from Miami a few years before, and teaming again with Errol Thompson to produce some new music. BadGalsRadio will be playing a wide selection of music for the next seven days from the discography of Brotha Joe Gibbs.

The Boston Massicka - The Riddim Juggler Tosses it to Mama ASID From our first faithful meeting on the TCOOO Blog ; Massicka has been Forthright, Honest and a genuine delight to share an exchange with. This week we go to the Youth Man Posse to tell us how they feel about This Generation and Reggae Music . Several pods ago we ran two episodes with Bob Andy. When DJ Mass heard the interviews he wrote me and immediately requested equal time for a rebuttal. This is that Rebuttal, also in two parts. this is part one; with part deux coming during January 2008. Dj Mass says that Confusion about the youth and young musicians; has led to the splintering of the dancehall. Mass Reveals how Bob Andy turned down royalties for use of his sample in the Massicker Hit Ackee in my Salt Fish . This tune will be released in spring 2008; on a Going Home Riddim compilation - by MusicalAmbassador Label (MAMG). Mass tells us what he s working on; and what he predicts will buss the scene, fresh in 08 . When asked his opinion on the Beenie Man; Movado Star Complex he really shows us his strength and breaks it down. Massicka sites examples of bad character being adopted and why the minds of reggae lovers globally are being negatively reprogrammed - causing dances like the Drop Dead to become phenomena amongst the youth. When asked about this negative dancehall tradition of violence from the stage and the crowd; DJ Mass said this - Dancehall don t beat people down, people hold people down Massicka is a Real Warrior for The Roots and Culture; and when he puts out the battle cry, all will listen. The harmonies we enjoy bring us back to a place we remember as Foundation Sound .

Gays Getting Western goverments to make Reggae Dancehall illegal : Source nowtoronto.com 30/11/07 12:47:52 pm, Categories: Reggae International Gays Getting Western goverments to make Reggae Dancehall illegal : Source nowtoronto.com Gays and Lesbians declare all out war on Reggae Dancehall! Dancehall dons anti-gay lyrics fuel local calls for Jamaica sanctions By SIGCINO MOYO In his book words to our now, Thomas Glave, SUNY Binghamton prof and gay Jamaican-American author, ponders the gnawing fear of the Jamaican LGBT experience. How will it happen? he asks of the all-too-inevitable violence faced by gays and lesbians in Jamaica. With fire gasoline machetes pickaxes hammers guns knives simple strangling or a good old-fashioned stoning Will our father do it to us, or a neighbour? A boyfriend, or a co-worker? Will everyone in our community turn on us? Considerable international attention has been given recently to anti-gay violence in Jamaica following a rash of deaths there. Elephant Man in Action The seeming Jamaican government authorities reluctance to do anything about it, despite calls from Amnesty International, has Helen Kennedy, the executive director of Egale Canada, the largest gay-lesbian group in this country, openly questioning the Harper government s pledge to dole out $600 million to bolster the infrastructure of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries over the next 10 years. Why are we using taxpayers dollars to support countries that don t observe basic human rights? Kennedy wonders. Jamaica still has a prohibition against the abominable crime of buggery on the books. And nowhere in recent talk of constitutional reform on the island is the issue of gay rights addressed. Egale is stopping short of calling for an all-out tourism boycott - the U.S.-based International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association says boycotts do nothing to help the LGBT communities there. But from Kennedy s perspective, queers should think twice about spending their bucks in the Caribbean country, as well as others with spotty records on gay rights. The group has joined Stop Murder Music Canada (SMM) in calling on immigration authorities to follow the lead of Britain and the U.S. and bar from entry into Canada reggae dancehall acts known for virulent anti-gay lyrics. So far, there s been a resounding non-response from higher up the political food chain. Capleton The FireMan In what Kennedy calls an all-out campaign, Egale and SMM have set their sights on local promoters, bookers and venues, forcing the recent cancellation of shows featuring some of the more notoriously anti-gay dancehall dons - Capleton, Baby Cham and Beenie Man, all skedded for GTA-area gigs. Baby Cham Shows by Sizzla and Elephant Man were called off a few weeks earlier, although it s unclear how much lagging ticket sales had to do with the latter. Sizzla Chris Hines, the booker behind the Capleton, Baby Cham and Beenie Man gigs, says Egale and SMM have brought to his attention some lyrics of artists he books. They re telling me the song is an example of homophobia, but I translate it as something else. In Jamaica being homophobic is almost a law. Hines is only marginally overstating the reality. Hundreds of attacks on gays and lesbians, many involving mob violence, and at least three deaths have been reported since the beginning of the year. In April, Amnesty International called on Jamaican authorities to send a clear message that discrimination against sexual minorities will not be tolerated after two incidents involving mob violence against gays in Kingston. If there s been an official response, Jamaican authorities are loath to share it with NOW. Repeated calls, e-mails and faxes sent to the Jamaican High Commission in Ottawa and the consulate in Toronto went unanswered. Hines is sympathetic, but at the same time he can t shake a feeling: It seems that they re just targeting the dancehall community. There are tons of hiphop artists that call people faggot in songs. And they re not going after them. It s a familiar argument, one that was made by local activist Valerie Smith in her efforts last year to have the Ontario Human Rights Commission declare songs with misogynist lyrics hate rap. The stumbling block there is that women are not an identifiable group under the Criminal Code. Gays are. Used to be that SMM would get problem acts to sign a declaration known as the Reggae Compassionate Act. The groups would promise to zip it on the homophobic material in return for avoiding SMM s calls for boycotts, handcuffs and visa denials. One Love and all that. Some acts signed, others recoiled. Problem is there was nothing keeping the bands honest back home. In 2004, a sobering blow came to those who thought that agreements like the Reggae Compassionate Act might have lasting traction in Jamaica. Brian Williamson, a founding member of the Jamaican Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays (J-FLAG), was found brutally murdered. While it s still a matter of some debate whether this was in fact a hate crime, this ultra-public gay-positive force died by violence. Says SMM founder Akim Larcher, What we ve seen is that many of these artists have denied signing, claiming the alleged forgeries are part of the gay agenda. Listeners and concert-goers are often encouraged to revel in derisive singalongs punctuated by exhortations like: Battyman fi dead! Poop man fi drown. Hang chi chi gal wid a long piece of rope. Tek a bazooka and kill batty-fucker. I m dreaming of a new Jamaica, come execute all the gays. Unnecessary translations notwithstanding, the recurring gist of many of these frequently cited tracks is that the sodomite at large (including bowcat bwoys that go down on females) should beware divine wrath right here on earth. To lesser extent, says Larcher, that same homophobic environment exists here in the Caribbean and African communities. These artists remain symbols of hate against the LGBT communities. Beenie Man In the past, artists like Beenie Man and Buju Banton have tried to play both sides of the pond by issuing denunciations of violence against any human being. But one would gather from their continually catalogued concert ramblings that gays and lesbians fall outside of that definition. Until these artists take a public stand in the Caribbean, specifically denouncing violence against gays and lesbians, we don t think they should be allowed into Canada, says Larcher. Buju Banton Case in point is Buju Banton, often heralded as a changed man after penning the anti-gay anthem Boom Bye Bye in the early 90s at the age of 15. But just a few weeks ago, despite calls for his performance to get the hook, he busted out lines from that track at the Guyana Music Festival at the urging of the crowd. Meanwhile, surprise! The offensive material can be accessed online, interestingly enough, on the Jamaica Tourist Board website, boasting that Jamaica is one of the most special places on earth.
