High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Winston Holness, better
known as Niney the Observer (born George Boswell, 1951, Montego
Bay), is a Jamaican record producer and singer who was a key figure
in the creation of many classic reggae recordings dating from the
1970s and early 1980s. Holness gained his nickname "Niney" after
losing a thumb in a workshop accident. In the latter half of the
1960s he worked as an engineer at KG records, where he began
producing. His first release was his own composition "Come on Baby"
issued on his Destroyer label. He moved on to work with Bunny Lee
in 1967, then for Lynford Anderson's studio, then working for Joe
Gibbs as chief sound engineer, replacing his friend Lee "Scratch"
Perry. While working for Gibbs he produced Dennis Alcapone and
Lizzy's "Mr. Brown," and played a major role in launching the
career of Dennis Brown. After leaving Gibbs' setup, his first major
success as a producer was "Blood & Fire" in December 1970,
initially released in a pressing of 200 on his Destroyer label, but
reissued the following year on his Observer label, and going on to
sell over 30,000 copies in Jamaica.
