His youngest son, Karl Konan Wilson, has found success as part of British duo Krept and Konan (founded 2009).His early years with Coxsone yielded a number of ska hits, the biggest of which, the Lee Perry -written Joe Liges was an attack on rival producer and former Dodd employee Prince Buster.
![]() This was followed by another Perry-written attack on Buster, Spit in the Sky. Further singles followed, including One Two Three, I Shall Not Remove, Look Who Is Back Again (a duet with Slim Smith ), and another anti-Buster song, Prince Pharaoh, notably the only record featuring the voice of Dodd himself. He is regarded as Jamaicas first child star. His double A-side It HurtsPut Yourself in My Place was a skinhead favourite and narrowly missed UK chart success. He recorded a version of Run Run, a song he had originally recorded for Dodd, for maverick producer Keith Hudson. He worked with a string of producers in the years that followed, including Joe Gibbs (Mash Up Illiteracy, Pretty Girl), Gussie Clarke (Love), Winston Niney Holness (Rascal Man), Harry J (Ask The Lonely), and Joseph Hoo Kim (Its a Shame). Wilson continued to be successful until the end of the decade, but his career floundered during the early 1980s, with releases less common. His fortunes revived in the digital age with releases for King Jammy (Dont Put The Blame on Me) and Bunny Lee (Ease Up), with new albums following, but he again drifted out of the limelight, with his health declining, and is best remembered for his earlier work.
