ANOTHER DAY AND STILL NO VERDICT IN REGGAE ARTIST BUJU BANTON'S DRUG TRIAL
Jamaican Reggae singer Buju Banton will have to wait until Monday to know his fate as the 13 member panel of jurors have yet to come to a decision.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISTON PALMA
Triston Palmer aka Triston or Tristan Palma /Palmer grew up in the Waltham Park area of Kingston, and decided from an early age that he wanted to be a singer. He began by singing to the accompaniment of Soul Syndicate guitarist Tony Chin. His first recording was "Love Is A Message" for producer Bunny Lee when he was eight years old, which was followed by "A-Class Girl" for the Black Solidarity label, which was co-run by Palmer and Ossie Thomas. He came to the attention of producer/deejay Jah Thomas, who began a substantial association with Palmer with the track "Entertainment", when Palmer was aged around 14. He made a major breakthrough with his performance in 1979 at the General Penitentiary Memorial Concert for Claudie Massop, which also featured Bob Marley. Palmer became a popular artist in the "singjay" style in the early 1980s.[1] "Entertainment" was a Jamaican hit and he enjoyed further successes with "Water Bubbling", "Spliff Tail", "Raving", and "Run Around Woman". Palmer also worked with Linval Thompson, who produced his Joker Lover and Settle Down Girl albums, and later George Phang, Tony Robinson, Sugar Minott, Bunny Gemini, and Castro Brown. At one point in the early 1980s, Palmer had nine songs in Jamaica's Top 40.
In the mid-1980s, Palmer became involved in the famine-relief charity project Music is Life, along with Freddie McGregor, Mutabaruka, Gregory Isaacs, Third World, Edi Fitzroy, and Steel Pulse, contributing to the charity single "Land of Africa".
His popularity continued through the 1980s, and in the 1990s he recorded the Three Against War song and album with Dennis Brown and Beenie Man.
Palmer has worked as a producer himself, working with artists such as Phillip Frazer, Josie Wales, and Robert Ffrench, and has provided backing vocals for singers such as Sugar Minott,Tony Tuff, and Freddie McGregor. He also built his own Star Creation studio.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CARLTON LIVINGSTON
Carlton Livingston was on September 19, 1962, St. Mary, Jamaica. He was the fourth child, in a family of six. He was first exposed to the joys of music in church. His sisters were choir singers and his mother was an organist. Carlton then started to sing in choirs and in an informal harmony trio.
From this early age music was a big part of Carlton's life and his entire family supported him.Prior to entering the music business fully he recorded "The Tale of Two Cities" in 1978 at Channel One. Thereafter, Carlton was approached by a gentleman by the name of Leon Symoie, from Trillseekers" record label. He then recorded and released songs in which his first record/LP was "Soweto". This album was well received, but not a chart topper. Carlton's career then took a turn to radio broadcast. In 1979, he was sorted out by Tony Walcott, who took him to reggae and DJ training sessions, which led his career to a huge success. This same year Carlton created and recorded more than forty songs.
Having obtained this type of success within his community, Carlton moved on to the big times. He recorded "Tricks" and Hot Summer". These were accepted in England and the United States. In 1992, he toured North America, performed at some of the largest venues and his popularity grew from here on.
Later on he worked with several of the top Jamaican producers (Coxsone Dodd, Winston Riley, Sly & Robbie, Clive Jarrett, and King Jammy). He is well known for his 1984 hit song, "100 Weight of Collie Weed." Carlton then released Emotions in 1994. Four years later he had an international hit when he teamed up with Shabba Ranks and redid his song "Rumours" produced by Bobby Digital.
In the reggae industry Carlton Livingston is one of the best singers and songwriters of the eighties and early nineties, as well as today. This can be seen from the large number of reggae artists who have performed and recorded his cover versions. Carlton is not done as yet, as he still performing here in the United States and constantly tours Europe and Japan. Presently he lives in the United States and has a new song out that is doing very well.
It is with great honor and pleasure I take this time out to wish CARLTON LIVINGSTON a very, very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. To all please go to Carlton's page and wish him happy birthday and call your radio people wherever you are to request his songs.
Once again CARLTON, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
