Mikey Dread and The Clash – 1981
Mikey Dread, gone from the control
Radio disc jock Mikey Dread is dead. He succumbed to a brain tumour late yesterday (Saturday, March 15, 2008) afternoon at his family home in Connecticut, USA at the age of 54. Born Michael Campbell in Port Antonio, Jamaica, he distinguished himself as an extraordinary studio engineer and presenter at the now defunct Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) where he came to prominence in the 1970s as "The Dread-the-Control Tower", the name of the late night show he presented at a time when reggae music was scoffed at by many.
