Lloyd Parks

Well supported

Bassist and singer whose lines run through five decades of Jamaican music. He sang with the Termites and solo — "Slaving" is his — but his deeper mark is as a session and touring bassist, above all leading We the People Band, the backing band of choice for major stage shows and for Dennis Brown's classic period.
