Sir Nick the Champ

Probable

Sir Nick the Champ was among the operators of the earliest Kingston sound-system era, playing American R&B at dances alongside contemporaries such as Count Smith the Blues Blaster and Lord Koos as the culture grew from house parties into large street dances in the 1950s. He is remembered as part of the pioneer generation that preceded the 'Big Three'.
