Of Winston Hewitt and Others



Winston Hewitt/Jackie James/Carlton Harrison





Winston Hewitt was a founding member of The Pioneers reggae group and was their original lead singer. His association with the group ended when he moved to Canada in the 1960s, but he continued to perform and record. Additionally he worked as record producer and ran his own companies, Boss Records and W H Records.

He was also founder of the Canadian Reggae Music Awards, intended by him to raise the profile of the music.

As you can see, these pictures relate not to his own back catalogue, though I am a big fan, but at records by other artists that he released on Boss Records. 

Sadly I know very little about either Carlton Harrison or Jackie James, though I would recommend Jackies` version of Piece of my Heart, which has become a personal favourite for me.
