Vincent "Randy" Chin

Probable

Vincent "Randy" Chin (1937-2003) was a Chinese-Jamaican entrepreneur who founded Randy's Records and, above his North Parade shop, the influential Randy's Studio 17, a hub of early-1970s reggae where artists such as Bob Marley, Augustus Pablo, Gregory Isaacs and Burning Spear recorded. With his wife Patricia he later relocated to New York, opening VP Records (named for Vincent and Patricia) in Queens in 1979, which grew into the world's largest independent distributor of Caribbean music.
