Burning Sounds

The eighties were a particularly diffcult time for Jamaican singers: reggae music, on record and live, was dominated by deejays and a singer had to be very special to encroach on the talking artists’ monopoly on popularity. Only a handful of singers had the style and stamina to take on the challenge and Michael ‘Lick Shot’ Palmer stood head and shoulders above the competion. Michael also known as Palmer Dog, was one of the most successful vocalists of the dance hall era.

Born in 1960, Michael Palmer grew up in Kingston where his neighbour Leroy Smart, one of Jamaica’s finest ever singers, encouraged him “to follow his musical aspirations” and inspired young Michael to become a singer. In 1980 Michael Palmer recorded his debut seven inch single, Mr Landlord, and over the ensuing three years scored with Ghetto Dance, (Don’t) Smoke The Seed and Long Run Short Ketch but, with his next record, Lick Shot he was promoted to the major league.”... - J.R.
