Don Carlos (born Euvin Spencer, 29 June 1952), also known as Don McCarlos on some early UK releases, is a Jamaican reggae singer and composer. Raised in the deprived district of Waterhouse in Western Kingston, Jamaica, he emerged from a community that produced many talented reggae musicians such as King Tubby, The Jays, Junior Reid, and King Jammy.

Carlos began his singing career in 1972 as one of the founders of Black Uhuru alongside Garth Dennis and Derrick Simpson. After finding his sound as a soloist, he released his debut album 'Suffering' for Negus Roots in May 1981. Since then, Carlos has become popular on the live music scene and has released twelve solo albums with the collaboration of Gold (2), his backup vocalist and co-writer.

Some of Carlos' notable albums include 'Harvest Time', 'Day to Day Living', 'Them Never Know Natty Dread Have Him Credential' (1982), 'Pass Me The Lazer Beam' aka 'Spread Out' (1983), and 'Plantation' (1984). Despite reaching his peak during the dance hall craze of the 80s, Carlos maintains his roots flavor and melodies while remaining popular worldwide.

Born Don McCarlos,he processes one of reggae's most distinctive voices. His vocal mannerisms being instantly recognisable over a tune ,yet he remains one of Jamaica's best kept secrets. Jamaican Recordings look back to some of his finest moments that set the tone for his popularity that was to follow in the Dancehall period of Reggae. He began his musical career in 1973, when alongside Garth Dennis and Derrick Ducky Simpson he formed one of Reggaes foremost groups Black Uhuru. He then joined Wailing Souls before going solo under his shorter name Don Carlos. This set hard to beat as most of his classis are represented here and hope you find some magic as Jamaican Recordings have unearthing and compiling these lost treasures...Respect.
