Re: Justin Hinds Passes

May 7, 1942 – March 17, 2005

It is my very sad responsibility to announce the passing today of the
great Jamaican vocalist and songwriter, Justin Hinds. Justin had only
recently been diagnosed with cancer a few short weeks earlier.
Notification of his death reached me about 1:45 am (CST) by phone from
his family in Steertown, St. Ann. A wife, Peaches, and three sons,
Maxwell, Carlton and Randy, survive him.

Justin Hinds was the third of a trio of legendary Jamaican vocalists
all of whom were born in the Parish of St. Ann, Jamaica that also gave
the world Bob Marley and Winston Rodney. His career began in the Ska
era with the hit recording, “Carry Go Bring Come”, for Duke Reid’s
Treasure Isle label in 1964 and following the success of that record he
went on to make dozens of other ska and rocksteady titles for Reid.
Justin recorded two albums for Chris Blackwell’s Island/Mango label in
the mid-seventies produced by the late Jack Ruby and two albums for
Nighthawk Records in the eighties.

Justin toured the US for the first time in the late nineties and most
recently had been working in Paris with The Jamaica All Stars, a
musical collective that included Noel Simms, Johnny Moore and Sparrow
Martin. Two albums by the JAS were released featuring his vocals
including “Right Tracks” last year. Justin was working on a new solo
recording with his son Maxwell, a drummer, at the time of his death.
