Thompson adopted the Rastafarian faith at an early age. He honed his talents on local sound systems such as Coxsone Dodd’s Down beat and Lord Tippertone\, and started to record very young under various names (Winston Price\, Winston Cool\, Ital Winston\, or Youth Winston). Hi s first recordings were for Lee “Scratch” Perry and Bunny Lee – “P lace Called Africa Version 3” and “Maccabee Version”. He returned to Lee “Scratch” Perry in 1976\, recording the DJ portion of Devon Irons ’ 12″ “Ketch Vampire”. Between 1971 and 1977 his singles were unre leased outside Jamaica\, only being available in the UK on import. He buil t his reputation with tunes such as “Oil Crisis” (versioning Horace An dy’s “Ain’t No Sunshine”)\, “Sons of Thunder”\, (toasting over Jackie Brown’s “Wiser Dread”)\, “Gimme Mi Gun” on Gregory Isaac s’ “Thief a Man” and “Poison Flour”\, on a recut of The Paragons “Man Next Door” rhythm. He mainly met success in the mid to late 1970 s\, with his best-known album being Best Dressed Chicken in Town (1978)\, a Greensleeves Records collection of tracks recorded in the mid-70s\, feat uring Alimantado toasting over singers such as John Holt\, Gregory Isaacs\ , Jackie Edwards and Horace Andy. His tunes mixed his Rastafari movement b eliefs with commentary on events then going on in his community\; “Poiso n Flour” referenced a January 1976 incident when 79 persons in Jamaica w ere acutely poisoned by consuming flour contaminated by leakage of the ins ecticide parathion in a ship’s hold. Seventeen died.\n\nwww.facebook.com /events/3925619640913579\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2026/04/DrA2026.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260329T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
