Dennis Alcapone

Dennis Alcapone

Born in Clarendon, Jamaica in 1947, Dennis first started to D.J for the El Paso Hi-Fi in 1969. Influenced by U-Roy, his excellent D.J skills and ability to toast over the tracks made El Paso the leading sound system of the time. U Roy was the first D.J to make records voicing over tracks, but it was Dennis' skill and unique style that challenged U Roy's dominance. His first hits were made for the youth producer Keith Hudson who doubled as a part time ghetto dentist. (Discogs)  Significant. File under: Reggae Masters
