Lloyd Robinson was a seminal figure in the reggae music scene, known for his distinctive voice and influential tracks that shaped the genre throughout the 1960s and beyond. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Robinson initially gained recognition as part of the duo Lloyd and Glen alongside Glen Brown, with their harmonies capturing the evolving sounds of ska into rocksteady. However, it was as a solo artist that Lloyd Robinson truly made his mark, with his classic hit "Cuss Cuss" becoming one of the most covered riddims in reggae history.

Throughout his career, Robinson collaborated with several notable producers and artists, including the legendary Sly and Robbie, showcasing his adaptability to the changing sounds within reggae and roots music. His releases, such as "Break Through (Remastered)," "Candi Girl," and "Want No War," among others, continued to resonate with audiences for their lyrical depth and musical innovation. Even after his passing, the compilation "Legendary Lloyd Robinson in Person" serves as a testament to his enduring legacy within the genre, cementing his status as a cherished icon of reggae music.
