Leo Graham

Leo Graham - Selection

When the Bleechers broke up or stopped

recording, Leo Graham carried on.

Recording mainly for Perry, but always

working with Gibbo. All his hits - ‘Black

Candle’, ‘News Flash’, ‘Big Tongue Buster’, all

came for Perry.

Perry should have released an album with

the man. Yet he didn’t.. Perhaps the only

other producer who came anywhere near

Perry with this baffling practice was Coxsone.

Some people will think that it’s not that

important. Yet an album traditionally lasted

longer in the marketplace than a single.

And trying to find singles pre-internet was

not an easy task, hence their great value

today. So Leo with his strange warbling voice

and even stranger lyrics remains to most

reggae fans totally unknown.

Yet for those who love parables and also love

the Bible, Leo has much to offer. Singers like

Leo have done more with their storytelling

and lyrics to promote the good book than

most. And they have done it over some great

rhythms!!!
