Errol Osbourne, known as Johnny Osbourne, is a highly acclaimed reggae and dancehall singer from Kingston, Jamaica. Born in 1948 in Jones Town, he rose to fame during the late 1970s and mid-1980s. Osbourne attended the renowned Alpha Boys School in Kingston where he honed his skills in trumpet and chant.
Initially singing with The Wildcats, Osbourne embarked on a solo career after making his first recordings for Coxsone Dodd's Studio One. He released his debut album "Truths and Rights" in 1979, which became one of the standout releases of that era. Throughout his career, he seamlessly transitioned through the dancehall period and continued to release albums well into the 2000s.
With a discography spanning several decades, Johnny Osbourne remains an influential figure in reggae music. His timeless sound has earned him respect among fans worldwide. If you enjoy artists such as Hugh Mundell, Sugar Minott, or Dennis Brown, then Johnny Osbourne's music will undoubtedly resonate with you.

VP Records is a US-based record company, label, and distributor founded by Vincent "Randy" Chin and his wife Patricia Chin. It is globally recognized as the largest independent reggae label. The Chins moved from Jamaica in 1977 and established their store in the vibrant neighborhood of Queens, New York. With over 25,000 titles under its belt, VP Records acquired Greensleeves Records and was named the Billboard reggae label of the year in 1999. They have also collaborated with major labels like Atlantic Records for licensing deals. VP Music Group, Inc., handles all copyright matters while VP Mastering takes care of the mastering studio operations.

The success of VP Records can be attributed to its strong foundation built by Vincent and Patricia Chin. Their passion for reggae music led them to establish a store that would later evolve into one of the most influential labels in the industry. Today, VP Records continues to promote and distribute exceptional reggae music worldwide.
