Producer Joe Gibbs (born Joel A. Gibson) career spans a healthy chunk of Jamaicas musical history. From the early days of rocksteady to 80s dancehall, Gibbs put together a slew of hits by such island stars as Pioneers, Dennis Brown, the Heptones, Culture, Frankie Paul, and Nicky Thomas. Along with his contemporary, producer Bunny Striker Lee, Gibbs can lay claim to being one of the most important of Jamaicas musical giants, due not only to the fact he stayed active for such a lengthy amount of time, but also because he was able to produce a consistent run of hits of the highest order.
