During the 1990s, Hopeton Lindo spent a lot of time at producer Gussie Clarke\u2019s Anchor recording studio in Kingston. He was part of a production team that created some of that decade\u2019s biggest hit songs.<\/p>\n
Lindo learned a lot from his days there, which served him well when he went into production with his Irie Pen Records label. He has enjoyed a strong run in the last four years, which continues with \u2018Don\u2019t Know Much\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, his song with fellow singer Novel-T.<\/p>\n It is a lover\u2019s rock take on the oft-covered ballad, made famous by artists such as Bette Midler, Bill Medley and Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt. The laid-back Lindo — who has written or co-written hit songs such as Gregory Isaacs\u2019 \u2018Red Rose for Gregory\u2019<\/em><\/strong> and Maxi Priest\u2019s \u2018Temptress\u2019<\/em><\/strong> — said his approach to music production is simple.<\/p>\n \u201cI am a hands-on producer who strongly believes that teamwork makes the dream work.\u00a0 Apart from talent, chemistry and attitude are some of the things I look for when producing a duet,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n Released in July, \u2018Don\u2019t Know Much\u2019<\/em><\/strong> is number four on the South Florida Top 25 Reggae Chart. On it, Lindo renews his association with Novel-T; he produced \u2018Let me Please You\u2019<\/em><\/strong> and \u2018Love Won\u2019t Let Us Wait\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, her duets with singer Peter G which topped that table.<\/p>\n Hopeton Lindo has been recording music since the late 1970s, starting on sound systems throughout Kingston. His breakthrough song, \u2018Territory\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, was released in 1987 and featured an upcoming band known as the Firehouse Crew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During the 1990s, Hopeton Lindo spent a lot of time at producer Gussie Clarke\u2019s Anchor recording studio in Kingston.
