U-Roy
牙买加历史上最有名的DJ 他与Dennis Alcapone Big Youth和I-Roy是统治牙买加70年代早期到中期主要的四重唱DJ之一。U-Roy在King Tubby的音响店工作。King Tubby为许多DJ的绕舌混过音, 最后也开始为单纯只有旋律的音乐混音, 让旋律音乐又更上一层楼, 将所有人声去掉, 而加入一些回音及附和声。这样的结果便成了让许多雷鬼乐迷听见了最纯静最精华的声音。
 
U-Roy (born Ewart Beckford, OD, 21 September 1942, Jones Town, Jamaica) is a Jamaican musician, also known as The Originator. He is best known as a pioneer of toasting, a precursor to rapping.
 
U-Roy's musical career began in 1961 when he began deejaying at various sound systems, including a stint operating Sir Coxsone Dodd's Number Two set, while King Stitt &The Ugly One& ran the main set, eventually working in the late 1960s with King Tubby, at Duke Reid's Sound System. Tubby was then experimenting with his equipment, in the process of inventing dub music. With U-Roy as his most prominent deejay, and with access to some of the Treasure Isle Studios' finest rocksteady rhythms, King Tubby's new sound became extraordinarily popular and U-Roy became a Jamaican celebrity. However, his first single was &Earth's Rightful Ruler&, recorded with Peter Tosh for Lee Perry. He recorded Dynamic Fashion Way, his first successful recording, in 1969 for Keith Hudson and then worked with almost every producer on the island: Lee Perry, Peter Tosh, Bunny Lee, Phil Pratt, Sonia Pottinger, Rupie Edwards, Alvin Ranglin and Lloyd Daley.
 
In 1970, Jamaican singer John Holt became enamoured of U-Roy's technique. Working with Duke Reid, U-Roy's fame grew through a series of singles, including &Wake the Town& and &Wear You to the Ball&.
 
U-Roy's success continued throughout the 1970s, perhaps most famously with the album Dread in a Babylon, produced by &prince Tony Robinson, and its iconic picture of him disappearing in a thick cloud of cannabis smoke while holding a chalice. Indeed, there was also a song called &Chalice in the Palace&, in which he fantasised about smoking with Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in Buckingham Palace. U-Roy had become one of the island's biggest stars by the early 1980s, also garnering significant acclaim in the United Kingdom.
