Niney the Observer

Probable

Niney the Observer is the production name of Winston Holness (born 1944), one of Jamaica's most sought-after producers of the 1970s. He took "the Observer" name for his label after the runaway success of his 1970 production "Blood & Fire," which sold tens of thousands of copies in Jamaica. Having learned his craft working alongside Bunny Lee, Lee "Scratch" Perry and Joe Gibbs, he produced roots material for Dennis Brown, Delroy Wilson, the Heptones, Johnny Clarke and Gregory Isaacs, and was awarded the Order of Distinction.
