Bio
Errol 'I' Kong aka Ricky Storme , is the only living original Chinese Jamacian artist from the early days of reggae music still recording. I was born April 18 1947 at North Street & Duke Street, Kingston Jamaica, between Moravan Church & Bustamante Trade Union. My uncle is the late & legendary producer Leslie Kong of the Beverlys. I was the founding member of the Jamacians, along with Norris Weir, Martin Williams, Keith Brown & Midsey Curry. During the early seventies I wrote & recorded a number of singles, such as Trod Zion's Pathway, Dunny Dunn, Cuban cutlas, Take a Hold Break The Man's Hold. I also recorded with Bonny Rug as Bush Weed & Corntrash.We also recorded Freedom fighter from the beat down Babylon rythym for Lee 'scratch' Perry. In 1978 I recorded my first album "The Way It Is", which was release in 1979 & re-released in 2006.
My second "The forgotten Man " CD is a combination of re-recorded new & vintage songs, some previously unreleased. Fans & vintage collectors should enjoy this remastered collection of prophetical , energetic & roots rocking music, ( a true vintage Kong.)
