Leroy Smart "Talk of the Town" (1986)
Ойын-сауық
@LeoOReggio
Leroy Smart is an artist with who I have had a good relationship over the years and who I fulljoyed working with, as there is never a dull moment when you are with him. He has always been loved by the Jamaican people, and others, as he has made memorable music over the years. Leroy Smart, the girls dem sweetheart, ah dat me say.
Smart was born in 1952 and orphaned at the age of two. He was raised at Maxfield Park Children's Home and educated at Alpha Boys School, where he studied singing, drums, and dancing.
Smart recorded his first single, "It Pains Me" in 1969 for a producer called Mr. Caribbean. In 1970 he recorded "Ethiopia" for Joe Gibbs, and the first version of one of his most famous songs, "Pride & Ambition", with producer Gussie Clarke. His breakthrough would come in 1973 with "Mother Liza", produced by Jimmy Radway, which topped the local singles chart, and led to "Pride & Ambition" also becoming a big local hit. After working with Bunny Lee for several years, he recorded another of his best-known songs, "Ballistic Affair" at Channel One, in 1976, and began producing himself in 1977. Smart has continued recording and remains popular, with over 35 albums to his name. He is regarded as one of Jamaica's most outrageous and colourful characters.
Smart appeared in the film Rockers along with contemporaries such as Gregory Isaacs and Jacob Miller.

Thank you for the shout out, Ms Hopkin. I produced most of the music videos in the 80s and early 90s, under the moniker, Take One Video, including almost all of Leroy's music videos. Every video on this channel is produced by me.
