Biography
Legendary ska vocalist, great dancer and bass player born in 1938 in Bridgetown, Barbados, Jackie was discovered by [a=Byron Lee] and moved to Jamaica in 1962 where he joined The Skatalites and recorded many solo tracks for labels such as [l=Studio One], [l=Coxsone Records] and [l=Top Deck Records]. A diverse vocalist, Jackie has recorded in many vocal styles including ska, R&B, soul, gospel, and calypso. He is also credited as inventing the musical style of spouge (a combination of ska, calypso and more traditional rock n roll and religious styles popular in the UK & US). Opel eventually moved to Trinidad and then back to Barbados where, in 1970, he died in a car crash in his home town of Bridgetown.
