The LATE SANDRA "PUMA" JONES of Black Uhuru

Sandra "Puma" Jones was born in Columbia, South Carolina on October 5, 1953. She was a member of the Grammy Award-winning group, Black Uhuru. Puma, as she was affectionally known graduated from Columbia University with a Masters Degree, before becoming a social worker in New York City. She studied dance with the Chuck Davis troupe where she took particular interest in African dance.

Puma sang with Mama Africa and Ras Michael, and the Sons of Negus. She later joined Black Uhuru for the recording sessions of the 1979 album. Thereafter, Puma went on to sing on seven studio albums.

Upon the departure of Michael Rose in 1984, and with the new member Delroy "Junior" Reid, Puma was committed to, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

As the illness worsened she was forced to step down from the group and the album was completed with Olafunke as an uncredited backing vocalist. Puma Jones then returned to New York for treatment. After a long battle with breast cancer Puma died on 28 January 1990, aged 36. She was later buried near her family home in South Carolina.

Backing Vocals-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YAMI BOLO

Rolando Ephraim McLean, aka Yami Bolo was born on October 1, 1970 in Jamaica. Yami was introdced to music through the church he attended with his grandmother. After seeing the love that Yami had for music his grandmother bought him an accordion and trombone to follow his dream.

In the 80's, Yami joined with Sugar Minott's Youth Promotion Crew. It was here he got his first taste of the reggae music industry and performing live. Yami's first performance took place at the St. Andrew Technical High School. He performed two songs, "When A Man's In Love" and Take It Easy." ("Take It Easy" was sampled by KRS-ONE)

Yami has toured worldwide and worked with many the best producers in the business (Clive Hunt, Augustus Pablo, Coxson Dodd, Winston Riley, Lee Perry and Sly and Robbie). He has also worked alongside many well known reggae and hip hop artists (Sugar Minott, Damian Marley, The Marleys, Capleton and Wyclef Jean). Last, but not least, it should be noted that Yami's work graced the 2001 Grammy Award Winning Album, Halfway Tree by Damian Marley.

This artist/musician is a strong believer in his faith and has conducted Rastafari cultural studies at world renowned universities, like SUNY in New York State and M.I.T in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In addition, Yami Bolo has supported the city of New Orleans and its surrounding areas by volunteering his musical talent at live performances in Louisiana in the Summer of 2009.

At present, Yami lives in New York and is currently working on a new album which will be released on his independent label early next year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BRIGADIRE JERRY

Brigadier Jerry (born Robert Russell, 28 September 28 1957, in the Papine area of the eastern side of KIngston, Jamaica. Brigadier was first known as a stand up comedian then switched to deejaying for local soundsytems. One of the first sounds that he was linked to was King Stur-Gav Hi-Fi sound system. Brigadier has always given much credit and thanks to his style to his predecessors U-Roy, Prince Jazzbo, Big Youth and Dennis Alcapone.

In 1978, he appeared on Jah Love Muzik sound system. On this set Brigadier was known to spread the message of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. In 1980, Brigadier's style of deejaying set him apart of the others and he became one of the most popular deejays on the island of Jamaica. With respect to his style, Brigadier has always given much credit and thanks to his predecessors U-Roy, Prince Jazzbo, Big Youth and Dennis Alcapone. In that same year Briggy teamed up with Studio One. In 1982, he recorded on the Jwyanz label the songs "Pain" on the Answer riddim and "Gwan a School" which were hits in Jamaica. The following year (1983), he recorded his first album Live at the Controls and in 1985 his second album Jamaica Jamaica. (See his other work at the end)

Briggy's career has taken him all over the world. Presently, he lives in the United States with his wife and children. He is still recording, traveling, performing and can still be heard chanting and preaching against slackness that is been sung in today's dancehall music.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ROBERT "ROBBIE" SHAKESPEAR

Robert "Robbie" Shakespear was born on Sept 27, 1953 in Kingston Jamaica. He first started playing in a band as a bassist for The Hippy Boys.

In 1972, he met Sly who was playing in a band. Their friendship continued when he recommended Sly as a drummer for a one of producer Bunny Lee's recording sessions. After that session they decided to form a duo and continue working together. Thereafter, they both worked for the late Peter Tosh on his Legalize It album. They continued working with Tosh from 1976 to 1979 recording Equal Rights, Bush Doctor, Mystic Man and Wanted.

When they left Tosh they opened their own production company Taxi Productions and formed a studio band, The Taxi All Stars. Their first production became a number one hit in Jamaica "Soon Forward" by Gregory Isaccs.

Robbie and his partner Sly, are known as the longest production team and are considered as one of the world's premier rhythm section (musicians in a popular music musical band or musical ensemble who establish the rhythmic pulse of a song or musical piece, and who lay down the chordal structure). They are also considered the originators of the "Rockers" rhythm.

Here is a list of some of the artists they have worked with Black Uhuru, Chaka Demus & Pliers,
Ini Kamoze, Beenie Man, The Aggrovators, Grace Jones, U Roy, The Mighty Diamonds, The Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker, Herbie Hancock, Maxie Priest, Cindy Lauper, Carly Simon, KRS One, Queen Latifah, and Bob Dylan

THE DECLINE OF RINGTONES

The research firm IBISWorld new study indicates that the music ringtone market is continuing its steady decline. IBISWorld forecasts that revenue will decline for the second consecutive year down 15% to $750 million from its $880 million peak in 2007.

The reason for the decline of ringtones is due to the growing demand of downloads, which is worth an estimated $1.94 billion. In the inception of ringtones they were purchased via text and cost consumers up to $5 a song. Whereas, with downloads a song can be purchased for less than one dollar.

Senior Analyst of IBISWorld indicated that the ringtone market has reached its decline stage and its life cycle is expected to last approximately 15 years. He further stated that ringtones boomed overnight and its decline is happening just as fast as it entered.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JUNIOR TUCKER

Junior Tucker was born in Kingston, Jamaica, he began singing at the age of 5. Junior became a household name in Jamaica at the age of 7 with his first song "Happy" that went to number in the charts.

At age 12, he was singed to Island Records. At 14 he obtained a recording contract with Geffen Records, USA and at 23 he was signed to Virgin Records, UK.

During his days as a dancehall artist Junior had many number one songs, singer of the year titles, fame, fortunes, jet set life style that one would love to have. For Junior this brought added pressure, as he had to work extremely hard to maintain his position for the public.

The turbulence that was present in his life, the death of his father and having to maintain a number one position, he yearned a more meaningful life. In so doing, he kept searching, praying and looking at other religions for answers. One night he received an answer that woke him from his sleep. It was then and there he was delivered. Junior publicly accepted Jesus Christ at a gospel concert that very same week.

Since, Junior's acceptance of Jesus Christ he has often professed that he has seen the light and there is no turning back. Junior resides in Florida with his wife and three daughters. He continues to bless his audience with his singing, preaching and praise workshops.


Today, I would like to wish JUNIOR TUCKER a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
