Reggae Editorial Review
In "People Funny Boy: The Genius of Lee 'Scratch' Perry", author David Katz provides a comprehensive and engaging account of Perry's life and his significant contributions to Jamaican music and beyond. The book includes first-hand accounts from artists who worked with Perry, highlighting his talent for inspiring others to greater heights. Despite the lengthy detail on Perry's discography, the book is a fantastic read for fans of reggae and provides a fascinating oral history of the Jamaican music industry and its evolution. However, the larger print and revised edition can be a chore to read in some parts, particularly in relation to Perry's final years. Overall, Katz's book is a complete and well-written biography of one of the most significant figures in modern music.
