The Memorable...

WIRL WO15 scarce '76 collection of famed Barbados singer. From wiki:

Dalton Sinclair Bishop (27 August 1937 – 9 March 1970), better known as Jackie Opel, was a Barbadian singer who possessed a rich, powerful voice with a high octave range. He was known as the " Jackie Wilson of Barbadian culture" and was also a gifted dancer. Bishop was born in Bridgetown Barbados.

In the early 1960s, he was discovered by Byron Lee, the band master of the Dragonaires, who brought him to Jamaica. His styles included ska, R&B, soul, gospel and calypso. He is credited with inventing spouge music, a fusion of ska, calypso, and R&B music. Opel performed duos with Doreen Schaffer and Hortense Ellis, and in 1964 was backed by Wailers Bob Marley and Peter Tosh on "Mill Man", "Hairy Mango" and "A Time to Cry".Opel eventually moved to Trinidad and then subsequently returned home to Barbados. On March 9, 1970, he died in a car crash on Lower Bay Street, Bridgetown, Barbados.
