    A man that coldbloodedly ripped off many artists . A real vampire in the music business in Jamaica

      True.
      At the same time, Blackwell opened up the door for Jamaican music to the world. Others also made inroads, but Blackwell was a leader. If ya talk to the Jamaican artists who recorded for Blackwell, they clearly do say this. They'll also say he was a vampire too, but ya gotta know the range. It's a big music with a big history. Bigger than any one man.

    Chris Blackwell has one of the most interesting lives Ive ever read about - his mother was a millionaireness who's family wealth came from sugar cane and slavery (the Lupo Wing in London where the last two Royal babies were born was names after her family after they built it). She was the lover of Ian Fleming, the inspiration for many of the early Bond Girls, and Chris regulary worked on the films before going into music. You may or may not like the man but his life is very interesting.

      Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. But I feel that by Chris here saying "Two other guys" only shows that the backlash from the break with Peter and Bunny remained up to the last real Wailer, Bunny. Bad Blood! I wonder why Chris did not let the three wailers record separately under his guidance. What a Reggae world this could have been!

    Bob and two other people in the band, well I think peter tosh was right to have called him Chris white worse, as you can see in this interview that there's nothing well in him .

    What a disrespectful way, he describing his meeting with the wailers as Bob and two other people, which is Peter Tosh an Bunny Wailer. This guy is full of shit. He DELIBRATELY wouldn’t call the name of PETER TOSH AND BUNNY WAILER

      He also turned down Elton John...thought he was "too shy". Hey, so what, hindsight is 20/20. He had a great nose for talent and he was a genius at what he did.
