About Lee Perry
Lee Perry, commonly known by his nickname Lee 'Scratch' Perry (born 20 or 28 March 1936, Kendal, Jamaica - died 29 August 2021, Lucea, Jamaica), was a Jamaican record producer and singer noted for his innovative studio techniques and production style. Originally called "Little" Perry, in reference to his height of 5'6" (1.68m), he was a major founder of the reggae and dub genres. Perhaps most famous for fronting [[artist:30116]], he started out working with ska and cut his first record in 1959. He went on to work with a variety of musicians and producers, not always on the best of terms. His first record on his own [[label:679963]] label was entitled "People Funny Boy," and was a direct attack on [[artist:26434]] of [[label:129728]].
He is the father of [[artist:Omar Perry]].
