Biography

Dandy Livingstone (born Robert Livingstone Thompson, 14 December 1943, Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae musician and producer. Dandy Livingstone moved to the United Kingdom in the late 1950s. When London-based [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/Carnival]Carnival Records[/url] were seeking a Jamaican vocal duo, Livingstone filled the requirement by double-tracking his own voice, releasing records in this fashion under the name [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Sugar+%27N%27+Dandy]Sugar & Dandy[/url]. Dandy signed with [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/Ska+Beat]Ska Beat Records[/url] in 1967 and released his debut album entitled "Rocksteady with Dandy" in 1968. The same year he moved into production and formed the duo [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Dandy+%26+Audrey]Dandy & Audrey[/url] with [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Audrey+Hall]Audrey Hall[/url]. He later produced the monster hit "Red Red Wine" with [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Tony+Tribe]Tony Tribe[/url]. In 1968, Livingstone signed to [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/Trojan+Records]Trojan Records[/url] and got his own Trojan subsidiary, [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/Downtown+(4)]Down Town Records[/url].
