Not the best known of the Jamaican record producers of the 1970's, Leonard 'Santic' Chin did however work with many big names, producing roots, dub and DJ version hits. He had a great studio band to work with:
Reggy- guitar
Family Man Barret, Leroy Sibbles- bass
Tin Leg- drums
Augustus Pablo- melodica and keys
Leonard moved to London in 1975 (he was still only 22 yrs old) and remains active to this day.
