Born Winston Cooper, King Stitt was one of the early DJs on the reggae scene. Spotted by Count Machuki at a dance, Stitt was asked to try his hand at DJing because of his spectacular dance moves. Born with facial disfigurement, Stitt used it as a gimmick, taking advantage of the islanders' love for Westerns and calling himself the Ugly, after Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Initially, people went to his shows to find out if he really was ugly or not. After a time, he came into his own as a DJ without needing the gimmick, using ideas taken from radio DJs in Miami and New Orleans that came over the broadcasts to Jamaica. He began working with Coxsone Dodd, and then moved on to Clancy Eccles, with whom he produced a number of works that met with success in both Jamaica and the U.K.— "Fire Corner," "Herbman Shuffle," and "Van Cleef" (because Lee Van Cleef was the "ugly one" in the movie). Now, he works at Coxsone's Studio One from time to time.

A set from the legendary deejay,not recorded at the time he was shaking up
Downbeat dances, but some thirty years later. Performing in the style of the
late 1950s/early 1960s, when the man at the mike didn't totally dominate
proceedings,Stitt simply adds to the excitement of tracks such as Owen
Gray's"On the Beach", Theophilus Beckford's "Easy Snapping"and Billy Cooke's
"Iron Bar" with his introductions and the odd jive-talk interjection. A
large part of the set's appeal lies in hearing vintage vocals and
instrumentals that are mostly otherwise unavailable on album. The 'Ugly
One', as he was known, might not seem to be doing a great deal, but he adds
an extra dimension to marvellous music, and the album gives some idea of
what a Kingston dance of the time must have been like.
