Derrick Morgan is a Jamaican singer, deejay, writer, composer, and producer known for his contributions to ska, rocksteady, and reggae music. Born on March 27, 1940 in Stratton, Clarendon, Jamaica, he overcame the challenges of a retinal deficiency that caused total blindness. His musical journey began after winning the "Vere Johns Opportunity Hour" singing competition and joining various troupes.

Collaborating with renowned artists such as Prince Buster and Bunny Lee throughout his career, Derrick Morgan established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. He even founded his own record labels including *Horse*, *Hop* and "Morgan". In the late 1970s, he spent time in Canada before settling in England. However, he has now returned to Jamaica where he proudly supports the career of his daughter Ventrice Morgan aka *Ventrice*.

Influenced by artists like Lord Tanamo and Owen Gray among others from the vibrant Jamaican music scene of that era such as The Tennors and The Ethiopians; Derrick Morgan's unique sound continues to captivate audiences worldwide. With his remarkable talent and extensive discography spanning multiple genres within Jamaican music history; it is no wonder that he remains an influential force in the industry.

First released 1969, the year Derrick returned to England to work with the three Palmer Brothers, Harry, Jeffrey and Carl, whose Pama Records were giving Trojan Records serious competition in purveying the brand new faster, more aggressive, reggae beat not only to the expatriate Jamaican audience but also to the music’s latest adherents... the skinheads. A number of his greatest hits from the period were included on this classic Derrick Morgan In London album, although actually all tracks (were) produced by Derrick Morgan in Jamaica. The set was originally released on the Pama Economy subsidiary which is rather ironic considering prices for an original copy of this excellent album now start at £100.
