Happy Birthday Winston Grennan!!! Jamaican born musician who is most famous for creating the one drop rhythm in the late 1960s. Grennan was also responsible for importing the "Flyers" beat to the United States - a beat which he had developed and recorded in the 60s in Jamaica. While living New York, Grennan performed at the uptown nightclub Mikell's, where local musicians scored and adapted the beat for their own use. A reconstituted Flyers later emerged in New York as the rhythm that became known as disco!!! Today we celebrate you!!! #WinstonGrennan #Islandpeeps #Islandpeepsbirthdays #OneDrop #InspiredtheCreationofDiscoMusic (at Spanish Town, Jamaica)
