Tenor Saw Essentials

Working with the best reggae producers of his era, including Winston Riley, Prince Jammy, and Sugar Minott, dancehall legend Tenor Saw rode some of the greatest and most familiar riddims of all time. Riley's Stalag riddim was the unmistakable backdrop for Saw's signature hit and party favorite, 1985's "Ring the Alarm," and Jammy's landmark Sleng Teng—the first computerized riddim—was the base for "Pumpkin Belly" the same year. Tragically, Tenor Saw's life was cut short in an automobile accident three years later, at the age of 22, just as his career was taking off.
