Today, we shine a spotlight on the legendary Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records. This musical pioneer introduced the world to icons like Bob Marley, U2, Grace Jones, and Cat Stevens. From producing the reggae-defining film The Harder They Come to discovering Millie Small and her ska anthem "My Boy Lollipop," Blackwell’s influence is unmatched. Recorded at his GoldenEye estate in Jamaica, this episode dives into his incredible journey from shaping the early ska scene to launching global superstars.
But Blackwell's genius didn’t stop with music. He transformed South Beach into a luxury hub and developed Jamaican retreats like GoldenEye and Strawberry Hill, redefining hospitality. We'll also explore his role in producing Catch a Fire, the album that introduced Bob Marley and The Wailers to the world. Whether you’re a reggae lover or a fan of music history, this episode is packed with stories celebrating the visionary who helped shape modern music and culture. Tune in!
