Dr. Alimantado

Best Dressed Chicken in Town

1978

DJ/Toasting

One-of-a-kind Jamaican DJ Dr. Alimantado found unexpected fame with U.K. punks after Johnny Rotten bestowed his blessings. The hoopla was certainly warranted based on the high quality of his mid-'70s sides, several of which are included on Best Dressed Chicken in Town. Handling production chores himself, Alimantado enlisted top reggae engineers and producers like Lee "Scratch" Perry, King Tubby, and Scientist to add their own alchemy to the mix.

The showtunes from the fifth longest-running Broadway production are exciting and riveting, not only keeping listeners engrossed until the end but also ensuring that they'll continue putting the songs on repeat.
