Omschrijving
Phil Pratt, born George Phillips (born 1942 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae singer and record producer.
Phil Pratt worked at Studio One for Coxsone Dodd as a box-loader during the rocksteady period when Lee Perry
was operating there, before moving to the United Kingdom in the early 1960s. Pratt returned to Jamaica in 1965,
and as a singer, he recorded a song called Safe Travel but it was not released at the time. He moved to Ken Lack's
label Caltone and recorded a few tunes there. In 1966, Pratt decided to get into production and while at Caltone
recorded the young Horace Andy. During the rocksteady period, he recorded singers such as Ken Boothe, John Holt
and Pat Kelly, backed by session men such as Lynn Taitt, his productions appearing on the Caltone, Wiggle Spoon
and WIRL labels before he launched his own label, Jon Tom. Pratt mainly recorded in the Channel One Studios,
working with the musicians who would later be called The Revolutionaries but also teamed with Lee Perry again,
at Black Ark Studios producing among others Linval Thompson's first single. Pratt set up his own label Terminal in
London in order to release his productions worldwide. He moved to London by the beginning of the 1980s and
opened a restaurant there.
