This is an account of the rise and the fall of Studio One, also the
brave attempt to rise again from the damaging image setup after
Dodd passing on May 4, 2004 Damages done by his inexperience and
malicious wife Norma Dodd and her daughters in efforts to make sure
the other of Dodd's children would not receive their fair share of
the estate left behind by Clement Dodd. The funds Mrs. Dodd took
from the banks, (First The Victoria & Blake, Nova Scotia
branch, plus The New Kingston branch of The RBTT) in addition to
opening fictious accounts called "Beneficiary Account" where on
such account she and her daughter were the only two installed
signatures. All the cash drawn from these bank accounts in quick
succession were stored at her resident. After her death during
2010, the money was removed by one of her trusted helper, who was
later fired by her daughter Carol Dodd. Dodd used to play records
to the customers in his parents' shop, In 1954, he set up the
Downbeat Sound System When the American R&B craze ended in the
United States Dodd and his rivals were forced to begin recording
their own Jamaican music in order to meet the local demand for new
music. Initially these recordings were exclusively for a particular
sound system but the records quickly developed into an industry in
their own right. In 1959 he founded a record company called World
Disc. In 1963 he opened Studio One at Brentford Road, Kingston. It
was the first black-owned recording studio in Jamaica. Here he
discovered Bob Marley, singing as a part of The Wailers. He gave
them a five year exclusive contract with 20 pounds for each song
recorded. Their song Simmer down, a Dodd production of a Bob Marley
song, was number one in Jamaica in February 1964. Marley was
invited to sleep in a back room at the studio for a while until
Marley left Studio One in 1968. During the late 1960s and early
1970s, the Studio One sound was virtually synonymous with the sound
of Rocksteady, and he attracted some of the best of Jamaican talent
to his stable over this time. Without the rock steady and ska that
he was so involved with there could have been no Reggae music
