Clancy Eccles- (1941-2005)

Clancy Eccles is best known as a singer and producer of reggae, ska and rocksteady music. He was born in Jamaica and died in Spanish Town, Jamaica on July 1, 2005.

Eccles began his career as a professional musician in the 1950s, but became well-known with his song, "River Jordan," released in 1961. He turned to producing; working with a singer from Trinidad by the name of Lord Creator. Their effort produced "Kingston Town.

In the 1970s, Eccles became involved in Jamaican politics, campaigning on behalf of socialist politician Michael Manley, who won election as Jamiaca's Prime Minister (served 1972-1980 and 1989-1992). Using the power of Jamaican reggae music, Clancy Eccles organized various reggae stars to appear on Manley's behalf in a travelling roadshow which gained publicity for Manley's campaign.
