AllMusic Guide - Winston Blake was initially drawn towards music when he witnessed the birth of the sound systems in Kingston where he was educated. His interest was also motivated owing to the fact that his father supplemented the family income by selling radios and amplifiers in Morant Bay. His father’s involvement in the phonographic industry resulted in Blake senior setting up the Mighty Merritone sound system. By 1956 Blake junior and his brother Errol ‘Monte’ had inherited the sound, and by the mid-60s the brothers were securing permanent bookings in a variety of Kingston nightclubs. Blake was also involved in producing a series of hits notably ‘Take It Easy’ by Hopeton Lewis.[more] - https://www.allmusic.com/artist/winston-blake-mn0001764227
