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.

Memories flooding back!!! Love this Sugar tune and the whole Sweet Talking Riddim, especially the discomix where Yellowman comes in immediately afterward with his tune "What Di Girls Dem Like"!! These two songs from the 80's (my formative years) were applicable then, and even more so now in 2022! I just wish that I had the wisdom to learn these lessons from my elders Sugar and Yellow back then as a boy, the same lessons I painfully learned as I grew into a man, now turning 50. BIG BIG chune!!! Thank you selector!!!
