'''Clement Seymour "Sir Coxsone" Dodd''' ([[Kingston
jamaikai [[ska]] He has been called "the most significant man in reggae music."{{Fact|date=February 2007}} He received his nickname "Coxsone" at school; because of his teenage talent as a [[cricket|cricketer]], his friends compared him to [[Alec Coxon]], a member of the famous [[1940s]] edition of the [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club]]. ==Sound system==
Dodd used to play records to the customers in his parents' shop. During a spell in the South of the [[United States of America]] he became familiar with the [[rhythm and blues]] music so popular there at the time. In [[1954]], back in Jamaica, he set up the Downbeat Sound System, being the owner of a [[power amplifier|PA]], a [[phonograph|turntable]], and some U.S. records, which he would import from [[New Orleans]] and [[Miami]]. With the great success of his sound system, and in a highly competitive environment, Dodd would make trips through the States looking for new tunes to attract the Jamaican public. Dodd opened five different sound systems, each playing every night. To run his sound systems, Dodd appointed people like [[Lee Scratch Perry|Lee "Scratch" Perry]] (who was Dodd's right hand man during his early career), [[U-Roy]] and [[Prince Buster]].
==Pályafutása==
When the R&B craze ended in the United States, Dodd and his rivals were forced to begin recording their own Jamaican music in order to meet the local demand for new music. Initially these recordings were exclusively for a particular sound system but the records quickly developed into an industry in their own right. In [[1959]] he founded a record company called World Disc. In [[1963]] he opened [[Studio One]] in Brentford Road, Kingston. It was the first black-owned recording studio in Jamaica (see [[1963 in music]]). He held regular Sunday evening auditions in search of new talent, and it was here he discovered [[Bob Marley]], singing as a part of [[The Wailers]]. He gave the group a five-year exclusive contract, paying them £20 for each song they recorded; for a time, Marley even slept in a back room of the studio. The Marley-penned song ''Simmer Down,'' a Dodd production, went to number one in Jamaica in February [[1964]].

He continued to be active in the music business into his seventies, and on Friday, [[May 1]], [[2004]] Kingston's Brentford Road was renamed Studio One Boulevard in a ceremony which paid tribute to his accomplishments as a producer. He died suddenly of a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]] four days later while working at Studio One.
