The definitive bio of the most celebrated figure in Jamaican reggae, Lee Scratch Perry.

David Katz's in-depth portrayal of his genius is to be commended and is an essential addition to any serious music fan's collection. David Rodigan MBE OD For the complete picture of this musical genius you can't get better than David Katz's <i>People Funny Boy</i> - if you're into Scratch, it's essential Don Letts. Arguably the most influential force in Jamaican music, Lee Perry brought Bob Marley to international stardom and has since collaborated with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, The Clash and The Beastie Boys. The book delves behind the myth of Perry to give a fuller examination of his life and work through extensive interviews with family members, fellow artists, friends, lovers, enemies, as well as the man himself to present a complex portrait of a unique soul driven by unseen spiritual forces. This revised and expanded edition has been thoroughly updated and completely overhauled to render a more nuanced, accurate and accessible read, with new information on Perry's later years, including his Grammy Award, cessation of herb smoking and final passing, as well as previously unpublished information about his early life, his unique relationship with Marley, and his fabled Black Ark studio.
