Smart, Leroy
The Don Tells It Like It Is
Reggae singer and producer Leroy Smart, the self-proclaimed Don, carries much respect in the Jamaican musical community.
He came through the Alpha Boys School in Kingston that produced the cream of Jamaican artistic talent -- such legends as
Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, and Johnny Dizzy Moore, to name but a few. Leroy Smart's talent lay in his vocal attacking
style that gives his lyrics and tune that extra meaning. His best work came in the heady mid '70s, working with "The
Hitmaker from Jamaica" Mr. Bunny Striker Lee. Bunny put Leroy Smart on some of his best rhythms, starting in 1973 with
"God Helps the Man" and "Wreck Up My Life." Other killer hits were to follow such as "Mr. Smart," "Pride and Ambition,"
"Bad Minded People" and "Mr. Richman." All tracks tell it like it is. Kingston Sounds has compiled all these cuts
together, every song a story in itself, told only as Leroy Smart could.
