During the years that followed his breakthrough as an independent record producer in the early 1970s, Winston Holness AKA Niney The Observer repeatedly demonstrated an unerring ability to produce significant works. By the onset of the next decade and the arrival of the new dancehall sound, he was well and truly established as one of Jamaica’s most innovative and successful music makers, having secured major hits for some of the island’s finest talents, their number including Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Freddie McGregor, Horace Andy and The Heptones. Niney maintained his magic touch throughout the early 80s, working primarily with up-and- coming young performers, such as Don Carlos, Peter Broggs, Yellowman and Purple Man, whom he backed in the studio with the exemplarity musicianship of Jamaica’s premier session crew, The Roots Radics.
