"It is indisputable that without the vision and work of this trailblazer, known internationally as
"Sir Coxsone", there would not be reggae music as we know and understand it now.
Brentford Road was renamed Studio One Boulevard on Friday last in honour of his pioneering efforts

legacy that will be unequalled for generations to come, if not for all times."
