Sugar Minott spent his youth hanging around the legendary "Studio 1" listening to the artists that recorded there, such as Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, The Heptones, Dennis Brown and others.
Sugar began his career with the formation of the African Brothers, along with Tony Tuff and Derek Howard (and later Triston Palmer) in the early 1970s. The African Brothers were a harmonious roots act, of which Sugar became the most popular member. By 1979, Sugar had been invited by Studio 1 to record a solo album.
When recording at Studio 1, he chose not to use a backing band as in conventional recording, but elected to sing over instrumental versions of old Studio 1 classics. This is considered to be the birth of "dancehall," which lead to countless artists making new hits out of old classics, a tradition that continues in Jamaica today.
Sugar was also well-regarded for hard work on his Youthman Promotion sound system and Black Roots & Youthman Promotion labels into the 1980s, which brought forth such artists as Tenor Saw, Nitty Gritty, Yami Bolo, Junior Reid, Tony Rebel, Garnett Silk, and many more to the industry. Up until his death, he was still working with young artists both in Jamaica and the US, including his daughter Pashon Minott.

Good Thing Going
Sugar Minott Lyrics
Bad news, bad news
I heard you're packing to leave
I come running right over
I just couldn't believe it
I couldn't believe it
Oh baby, baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you're kicking away
We've got a good thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing
I've never done you no wrong
I never hit you when you're down
I always gave you good thing
I never ran around
I never ran around
Oh baby, baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you're kicking away
We've got a good thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing
There's something you ought to know
If you're fixing to go
I can't make it without you
No no no no, no no no no
No no no no, no no no no
Oh baby, baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you're kicking away
We've got a good thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing
We've got a good thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing

Ooooh, see that girl
She does something to my chemistry
And laid out close I'm sure
She'd raise my temperature untreatedly
Everything everyday in every wish she makes
My heart it hurts
And I reciprocate
My life I dedicate to loving her
For we've got a good thing goin'
A real good thing goin', yes
That girl and me
And I don't have to ask
I know that it's gonna last eternally
Understanding
Whenever's hands need me, me I'll arrive
For you know what you do
Where you need, so what's for you
Who's telling lies
For we've got a good thing goin'
A real good thing goin', yes
That girl and me
We've got it good
So let's get it on, let's get it on
Let's get it on
So we've got a good thing goin'
A real good thing goin', yes
That girl and me
And I don't have to ask
I know that it's gonna last eternally
We've got, we've got a good
We've got a good
So let's get it on
So we've got a good thing goin'
A real good thing goin', yes
That girl and me
And I don't have to ask
I know that it's gonna last eternally
So we've got a good thing goin'
A real good thing goin', yes
That girl and me
