Harry Zephaniah "Harry J" Johnson (1945-2013) was a Jamaican reggae producer who broke through with the Beltones' "No More Heartaches" (1968) and the widely covered "Cuss Cuss" riddim. With his session band the Harry J All Stars he had a UK hit with the instrumental "The Liquidator" (1969), and produced Bob and Marcia's UK chart hit "Young, Gifted and Black" (1970). In 1972 he opened Harry J Studios on Roosevelt Avenue, Kingston, where Bob Marley and the Wailers recorded much of their 1970s output.
