Something to Read: Who is Lee Perry? (2 minutes)

Yesterday the music world lost someone special — someone who most likely had an influence on your favorite song or band.

Lee “Scratch” Perry - the Shaman of sound, the pioneer of dub who christened reggae, who created the basis of hip hop & laid the foundation for electronic music and the remix empire.Lee produced the first Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer songs- which he recorded on tape, dug a hole, put the tapes in the hole, pissed on & then buried for 6 months before pressing to vinyl and becoming certified hits.Bob Marley, Junior Murvin, Adrian Sherwood, Beastie Boys, and The Clash are just a few of the groups Scratch produced for.
