King Stitt, a pioneer in rap reggae, died Tuesday in his Caribbean homeland of Jamaica. He was 72. Stitt died at his home in the capital of Kingston after a long fight with prostate cancer and diabetes, said Jamaican musicologist Bunny Goodi- son, who was a close friend to the per- former for more than 50 years. Stitt had recently been discharged from a public hospital. The entertainer known offstage as Winston Sparks started his musical career in the late 1950s on Kingston’s circuit of sound systems, a sort of portable disco. Stitt is credited as one of the earliest performers of ``toasting,’’ a vibrant form of Jamaican deejaying that direct- ly inspired hip-hop music. He is best known for songs like ``Par- adise Plum’’ and ``Fire Corner.’’ He was a close collaborator of the late music producer Clement ``Sir Coxsone’’ Dodd, who ran the celebrated Studio One and guided Stitt’s career for years. Born with disfigured facial features, Stitt, who was also missing numerous teeth, dubbed himself ``The Ugly One.’’ INVITATION TO BID FIRST PUBLICATION W.G. Clark Construction Co.
