Prince Lincoln

b. Lincoln Thompson, d. 14 January 1999, London, Britain. Vocalist, songwriter and arranger Lincoln Thompson’s profession began at Studio room One, where he produced three singles in the first 70s that didn’t make any influence, but set up his name using the dedicated pursuing for ‘root base’ music. He previously been mixed up in music business within the 60s as an associate from the Tartans, and their ‘Dance All Evening’ on Merritone Information was a big rocksteady strike, however they disbanded immediately after this early flavor of achievement. ‘Live AS MUCH AS Your Name’, ‘Accurate Knowledge’ and ‘Daughters Of Zion’ remain sought-after information, and instantly sell out each time Coxsone Dodd re-presses them. Prince Lincoln still left Studio Someone to create his very own label, God Sent, and released three even more singles – this time around because the Royal Rasses (Royal Princes) – which were successfully solo initiatives with harmonies supplied by a variety of back-up performers, including Cedric Myton (Congos), Keith Peterkin and Studio room One stalwart Jennifer Lara. ‘Like The Way IT WILL End up being’, ‘Kingston 11’ – a musical tour from the ghetto – and ‘Aged Time Friend’ had been all good retailers both in Jamaica and the united kingdom, and attracted the eye of Ballistic Information who agreed upon them and seriously marketed their debut, Mankind. The record highlighted the three strike singles and tracks of identical calibre, including ‘San Salvador’, a greatly in-demand dub dish popularized on Lloyd Coxsone’s London-based audio system. The established was released in a complete colour (and incredibly costly) sleeve with lyric sheet and supported with an extended Western european tour in 1979. The music group was poised for the brink of worldwide stardom and Prince Lincoln’s thoroughly crafted, thoughtful tunes and soaring vocals had been exactly befitting the time. Unfortunately, it all proceeded to go wrong. Even though Royal Rasses had been producing music that Lincoln thought as ‘inter-reg’ or crossover music, their follow-up recording, Experience, didn’t scale the levels that Humanity experienced reached and had not been particularly favored by either the reggae target audience or the pop target audience at which it had been aimed. The 3rd recording release, an extremely brave step and something that brought Lincoln very much crucial acclaim, but didn’t sell in virtually any amount, was a cooperation with English vocalist Joe Jackson. The expense of these admirable endeavors was borne by Ballistic Information, who went of business along the way, and Thompson came back to Jamaica in 1981. There is nothing at all from Prince Lincoln for all of those other decade however the early 90s noticed a small number of interesting UK produces on God Sent.
