Jarrett Tomlinson, Jarrett Vincent, Lloyd Vincent)<\/em> <\/span>was mostly better known as an ONU Sound artist, but before relocating to London in 1981, he had\u00a0already\u00a0recorded a\u00a0fair sized\u00a0body of work.<\/p>\nThe \u2018Lovers Leap\u2019\u00a0LP from 1979 (re-released in 1987 on R.D.L.) Bim\u2019s second long playing release is strictly speaking his\u00a0debut LP, as the \u2018Love Forever\u2019 LP released originally\u00a0on the South London Tribesman label in 1978, was a compilation of tracks from\u00a0the Red Sea and Scorpio record labels that Bim owned in JA.<\/p>\n
\u2018Lovers Leap\u2019 was a critical success in reggae circles, ably backed by the Roots Radics and Soul Syndicate outfits, record at moody Channel One studios, and not so moody Randy\u2019s studio in North Parade right where the buses turn around and scatter every which way.<\/p>\n
Through this body of work, he released a few 12\u2033 singles on Adrian Sherwood\u2019s Hitrun Record label, and thus in 1982 released the majestic \u2018Across The Red Sea\u2019 LP, plus voiced several tracks for Singers And Players, an ONU Sound label reggae supergroup, on Adrian\u2019s next label ONU Sound.<\/p>\n
Bim would feel equally comfortable performing at Club Dog nights at The George Robey in Finsbury Park and the Culture Promotion nights at the Pied Bull in Islington, as he would in the many Reggae festivals throughout Europe that he was\u00a0invited to play.<\/p>\n

Bim\u00a0even performed at my works christmas party at the Brixton Fridge in 1991 along with a host of other artists inc Chumbawumba and Babes In Toyland. Adrian and the ONU Sound System also performed that night. Gold ticket symbolises free drinks (and ?) all night.<\/p>\n

Bim passed on in November 2000, a few years after successfully relaunching his \u2018Century\u2019 record label through our distribution service, and getting critical acclaim for his work, in the broadsheets as well as music press, with the 1996 LP \u2018Miracle\u2019.<\/p>\n
I knew Bim very well, and remember him with great fondness, we would both\u00a0giggle at the\u00a0fact that at\u00a0some of his gigs that I attended, I would end up with an Italian girlfriend during the show, no other country, just Italians \u2013 not that I am complaining! One of the Italians I met and hung out with for over a year was (for extra KYPP points) Andi Sex Gang\u2019s ex squeeze\u2026Sweet Lara L!<\/p>\n
I was privileged (if that is the correct wording) to be invited to his funeral in New Southgate, and afterwards dining and a celebration of his life with family and friends at the African Caribbean Centre in Hornsey, London, N8.<\/p>\n
A genuinely pleasant man who\u2019s beautiful vocal stylings\u00a0will be missed by many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
