Sugar Minot, born Lincoln Barrington Minott on May 25, 1956, in Kingston, Jamaica, began his career in music as a child, working as a selector for the Sound of Silence Keystone sound system before launching his own Gathering of Youth sound system in his teens. In 1969, he formed the group African Brothers with Tony, the lead singer, recording for Micron Music and various producers including Keith Weston, Winston "Marrytone" Blake, Rupie Edwards, and Coxsone Dodd. Some of their notable releases include "Lead us Father," "Mystery of Nature," "Party Time," and "Righteous Kingdom." In 1974, Sugar Minot collaborated with producer Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, revitalizing the label after the departure of prominent artists. His first hit for Studio One was "Vanity," followed by "Mr DC," "House is not a Home," and "Hang on Natty," which led to his debut solo album, "Live Loving." In 1979, he left Studio One to establish his own label, producing artists like Little John, Triston Palmer, Barry Brown, and Tony Tuff. Sugar Minot passed away on July 10, 2010, in St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, due to heart disease.
