LINCOLN ‘Style’ Scott (October 12, 2014) 1 Confirm Reservation 2 Sad to know you’re leaving 3 Front Door 4 Substitute Personel: Gregory Isaacs (Vocals) Dwight Pinkney (Lead Guitar) Style Scott (Drums) Erroll Carter (Bass) Eric Lamont (Rhythm Guitar) Anthony Johnson (Keyboards) Gregory Isaacs teamed up with the Roots Radics for much of the early 1980’s producing some of the best reggae music ever. In January of 1981 they dropped by the BBC and laid down some magic. Born in Chapelton, Clarendon, Scott was a member of the Jamaica Military Band who also played the north coast hotel circuit before joining the 'Radics’. In 1979, the fledgling band also included bass player Errol 'Flabba’ Holt, rhythm guitarist Eric 'Bingy Bunny’ Lamont, lead guitarist Noel 'Sowell’ Bailey, and keyboardist Wycliffe 'Steely’ Johnson. They were, arguably, the hottest reggae band of the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, playing on numerous hit songs by Barrington Levy Looking my Love, Bunny Wailer Rock 'N’ Groove and Gregory Isaacs Night Nurse. Along with the Radics, Scott recorded and toured with Isaacs, Wailer and roots group Israel Vibration. He is the fourth member of the band to die; Lamont, Johnson and Bailey preceded him. In recent years, Scott toured Europe frequently as leader of the Dub Syndicate Band, which he coordinated with British reggae historian/producer Adrian Sherwood. – Howard Campbell
