Suger Minott, 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. He launched his own sound system, Gathering of Youth, as a teenager. In 1969, he formed the group African Brothers with Tony Martin, recording for Micron Music and other producers, producing tracks such as "Lead us Father," "Mystery of Nature," "Party Time," and "Righteous Kingdom." In 1974, Minott collaborated with producer Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, revitalizing the label after the departure of notable 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, recording artists like Little John, Triston Palmer, Barry Brown, and Tony Tuff. Suger Minott passed away on July 10, 2010, in St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, due to heart disease.
