Augustus Pablo fell in love with a Melodica which was given to him while he was in school. He later got into Keyboards. He popularized the use of the melodica (an instrument at that time primarily used in Jamaica to teach music to schoolchildren) in reggae music. His album King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown (1976) is often regarded as one of the most important examples of dub. In the 70s, he produced the black star liner album for Fred Locks also worked with Dillinger, Norris Reid, I-Roy, Jacob Miller, The Immortals, Paul Blackman, Earl Sixteen, Roman Stewart, Lacksley Castell, The Heptones, Bob Marley, Ricky Grant, Delroy Wilson, Junior Delgado, Horace Andy and Freddy McKay. This period was eventually commemorated with a series of critically acclaimed LPs including King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown. Augustus Pablo was 44 when he died as a result of a collapsed lung on 18 May 1999. He had been suffering for some time from the nerve disorder Myasthenia Gravis. https://youtube/watch?v=wbCrYBWh62Y
