Clancy
                  Eccles is best known as a singer and producer of
                  reggae, ska and rocksteady music. He was born in
                  Jamaica and died in Spanish Town, Jamaica on July
                  1, 2005.
                  
                  
Eccles
                  began his career as a professional musician in the
                  1950s, but became well-known with his song, "River
                  Jordan," released in 1961. He turned to producing;
                  working with a singer from Trinidad by the name of
                  Lord Creator. Their effort produced "Kingston
                  Town.
                  
                  
In
                  the 1970s, Eccles became involved in Jamaican
                  politics, campaigning on behalf of socialist
                  politician Michael Manley, who won election as
                  Jamiaca's Prime Minister (served 1972-1980 and
                  1989-1992). Using the power of Jamaican reggae
                  music, Clancy Eccles organized various reggae stars
                  to appear on Manley's behalf in a travelling
                  roadshow which gained publicity for Manley's
                  campaign.
                  
                  
He
                  also produced a song called "My Leader Born Yah" in
                  1967 touting Manley's socialist agenda for
                  Jamiaca.
