Coxone's 50th Anniversary Concert Tribute 2004

This was a gathering to celebrate Jamaica's record producer and entrepreneur Clement "Coxone" Dodd, who was born January 26th 1932, and died May 4th 2004.

Coxsone started out with his Downbeat sound system in 1954, and progressed into
recording artists in 1956 starting the World Disc label.
In 1963 Coxone opened Studio One at 13 Brentford Rd. Kingston Jamaica.
The Studio One record label is synonymous with Jamaican Music
having pioneered the birth of Jamaican Music; Ska, Rocksteady, and Reggae.
In 1991 Clement Seymour "Sir Coxsone" Dodd received the Jamaican Order of Distinction.
So significantly successful was Studio One, that Brentford Rd. was renamed
Studio One Boulevard in Coxone's honor in 1994, shortly before his passing.
Even today The Skatalites Studio One rhythms continue to be "Versioned" by new artists!
Nuff Raspect to the Downbeat Ruler!
