Lizzy

Probable

Delroy Petgrave, known as Lizzy, was a Jamaican toaster who recorded alongside Dennis Alcapone over rock steady and early reggae rhythms cut by Duke Reid at Treasure Isle, engineered by Byron Smith. Their 1973 session was later reissued as Soul To Soul: D.J.'s Choice, documenting the two-deejay 'combination' style.
