Pioneer of rap reggae, King Stitt, dies at 72
By Howard Campbell
Associated Press
KINGSTON, Jamaica. 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.’’

``Without being disrespectful, Stitt made a mark vocally
and visually. Because of his image everyone knew him,’’
Goodison said Tuesday.
Big Youth, a veteran Jamaican deejay whose real name is
Manley Augustus Buchanan, said he vividly recalled his
times as a boy watching Stitt’s unique performances in the
1960s.
``He was the first king. Stitt really did a lot for the music,
always had a nice vibe,’’ Big Youth said.
Stitt is survived by a daughter.
