Lee 'Scratch' Perry Biography by John Dougan. An eccentric figure who stands as one of reggae's greatest producers, as well as the.

His mother had strong African traditions originating from her ancestry that she passed on to her son. He later moved to where he apprenticed. Early career Perry's musical career began in the late 1950s as a record seller for 's.

As his sometimes turbulent relationship with Dodd developed, he found himself performing a variety of important tasks at Dodd's hit factory, going on to record nearly thirty songs for the label. Disagreements between the pair due to personality and financial conflicts led him to leave the studio and seek new musical outlets. He soon found a new home at 's Amalgamated Records.

Working with Gibbs, Perry continued his recording career but, once again, financial problems caused conflict. Perry broke ranks with Gibbs and formed his own label, in 1968. His first major 'People Funny Boy', which was an insult directed at Gibbs, sold well with 60,000 copies sold in Jamaica alone. It is notable for its innovative use of a (a crying baby) as well as a fast, chugging beat that would soon become identifiable as 'reggae' (the new kind of sound which was given the name 'Steppers'). Similarly his acrimonious 1967 single as Lee 'King' Perry, ', was likewise aimed at Sir Coxsone.

From 1968 until 1972 he worked with his studio band. During the 1970s Perry released numerous recordings on a variety of record labels that he controlled, and many of his songs were popular in both Jamaica and the United Kingdom.

He soon became known for his innovative production techniques as well as his eccentric character. In 1970 Perry produced and released The Wailers track 'Mr Brown' (1970) with its unusual use of studio effects and eerie opening highlighting his unique approach to production. The Black Ark In 1973, Perry built a studio in his back yard, to have more control over his productions and continued to produce notable musicians such as, and. He also started the Black Art label, on which many of the productions from the studio appeared. With his own studio at his disposal, Perry's productions became more lavish, as the energetic producer was able to spend as much time as he wanted on the music he produced. Virtually everything Perry recorded in The Black Ark was done using basic recording equipment; through sonic sleight-of-hand, Perry made it sound unique.

Mentions: Scratch had a particular sound and everybody was fascinated by his sound. He had this way of putting things together; it was just his sound and it influenced a lot of people. I’ve even gone to the Black Ark with for that album; I remember myself and Val Douglas, we laid some tracks there, Eric Gale overdubbed stuff on there, but I honestly don’t remember what happened to it.

Perry remained behind the mixing desk for many years, producing songs and albums that stand out as a high point in reggae history. By 1978, stress and unwanted outside influences began to take their toll: both Perry and The Black Ark quickly fell into a state of disrepair.

Eventually, the studio burned to the ground. Perry has constantly insisted that he burned the Black Ark himself in a fit of rage. After the Black Ark (1980s and 1990s) After the demise of the Black Ark in the early 1980s, Perry spent time in England and the United States, performing live and making erratic records with a variety of collaborators. His career took a new path in 1985 when he met Mark Downie (Marcus Downbeat) with whom he worked on the 1986 album 'Battle of Armagideon' for Trojan.

It was not until the late 1980s, when he began working with British producers and Neil Fraser (who is better known as ), that Perry's career began to get back on solid ground again. Perry also has attributed the recent resurgence of his creative muse to his deciding to quit drinking alcohol and smoking. In his earlier days, the act of producing for Perry was a frenzied and ritualistic one where he stated that 'he blew smoke into the microphone so that the weed would get into the song.'

Perry stated in an interview that he wanted to see if 'it was the smoke making the music or Lee Perry making the music. I found out it was me and that I don't need to smoke.' In 1998 Perry reached a wider global audience as vocalist on the track 'Dr. Lee, PhD' from the ' album. Later career In 2003, Perry won a for Best Reggae Album with the album Jamaican E.T.

Currently there are two films made about his life and work: by Volker Schaner and by film-makers and. After meeting at in 2006, Perry invited him to co-produce his album Repentance.
