Biography
Reggae producer Carl Dwyer stepped away from the mixing desk, seized a microphone, and emerged as Captain Sinbad, a swashbuckling DJ whose recorded output remained limited. His earliest stage appearances came alongside the Sound of Silence sound system, which featured Sugar Minott. Several late-'70s albums issued under Henry "Junjo" Lawes preceded the 1980 single "51 Storm," a duet with the young Little John that turned into a Jamaican dancehall favorite. Greensleeves issued the full-length The Seven Voyages of Captain Sinbad in 1982, and the following year Dillinger's Oak label released the single "Hotter Reggae Music" while CSA issued Sinbad & the Metric System, an album split evenly with Peter Metro. Oak followed with the 1984 compilation Again before Captain Sinbad withdrew from recording, allowing Dwyer to concentrate once more on production work.
