Nitty Gritty
Holness formed The Soulites in the early 1970s and recorded his first solo single in the early 1980s for producer Sugar Minott. He worked on the Zodiac sound system and recorded further singles, working with George Phang before moving on to King Jammy in 1985, with whom he had his breakthrough success with "Hog inna Minty", a Jamaican folk song. Nitty Gritty was the first to record the song and was an instant success. He enjoyed further successful singles produced by Jammy, and his debut album, "Turbo Charged" was released in 1986, as was the split album with King Kong, "Musical Confrontation". He moved to live in London before relocating to New York City, where he continued to record but less frequently. Further albums followed with "General Penitentiary" (1987), "Nitty Gritty" (1988), and "Jah in the Family" (1989).
