One of the well-nigh of import figures in early ragga and dancehall, Tenor Saw (natural Clive Bright, 1966, Kingston, Jamaica) is best-known for his 1985 strike "Ring the Alarm," a song dynasty based on the then-ubiquitous "Stalag 17" rhythm which proved to be one of the biggest -- and catchiest -- hits to come out of reggae's transition into the electronic age. Tenor Saw followed it up with Fever, an LP that -- patch it didn't check his key signature song -- proven to be a minor hellenic of early dancehall, full of uncomplicated, catchy melodies, synthesized rhythm section parts, and Tenor Saw's floating vocals. (The CD reissue of Fever too appended dub versions of most of the original tracks.) With such a promising start to his vocation, it seemed Tenor Saw would be around for rather a long time; sadly, his life was cut little in August 1988, when he was hit by a motorcar in Houston, TX, and killed. The album Wake the Town was released posthumously in 1992.
