It was on the February 6 birthday of reggae greats such as Derrick Harriot and Bob Marley that the life of a musical genius was snuffed out. Seminal music producer and engineer Osbourne ‘King Tubby’ Ruddock was shot and killed on that day in February 1989 outside of his home in Duhaney Park, St Andrew. He was returning from a session at his Drumalie Avenue studio in Waterhouse.
Fast-forward three decades and the life and legacy of King Tubby, whose groundbreaking innovations in the studio saw him “elevate the role of the mixing engineer to a creative fame previously only reserved for composers and musicians” will be celebrated in a huge way. Paul Scott, the promoter for the King Tubby show, ‘Sound System Club Presents: Firehouse Crew and Friends Tribute to King Tubby 31 Years Since his Passing’, is adamant that the greatness of King Tubby must not be forgotten.
