MICHIGAN AND SMILEY
backed by the Kingston 13 band

Papa Michigan (born Anthony Fairclough) and General Smiley (born Erroll Bennett) were among the first dual-toasters on the Jamaican scene. Beginning in the late ’70s while still in school, the humorous duo (Smiley got his name because he never smiles) scored immediately with “Rub a Dub Style” and “Nice up the Dance,” two ubiquitous songs on the dancehall circuit. “One Love Jam Down” became a popular anthem, and 1982’s “Diseases” established them as major stars, especially at the annual Sunsplash festivals.
