Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prince Far I (b. Michael James Williams, c.1944, Spanish Town, Jamaica, d. 15 September 1983, Kingston, Jamaica) was a reggae deejay, producer and a Rastafarian. Williams' first job in the music industry was as a deejay on the Sir Mike the Musical Dragon sound system, also working as a security guard at Joe Gibbs' studio, and later as a bouncer at Studio One, but after recording "The Great Booga Wooga" for Bunny Lee in 1969 (under the name King Cry Cry - a reference to his habit of breaking into tears when angered), he got the chance in 1970 to record for Coxsone Dodd when King Stitt failed to turn up for a session. Dodd was sufficiently impressed to release the resulting recordings, Williams now using the name Prince Far I at the suggestion of another producer he had worked with, Enos McLeod). With a unique deep bass voice and talking over style, preferring to describe himself as a "chanter" rather than a "toaster", he became a popularreggae musician, styling himself "The Voice of Thunder".
