Jah Lloyd
Jah Lloyd, aka Jah Lion, The Black Lion of Judah (born Pat Francis, c.1950, Kingston, Jamaica, died 2 June, 1999) is a reggae singer, deejay and producer. Francis began his career in the mid 1960s as a singer in The Mediators along with Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson, and worked as a solo singer with tracks such as "Soldier Round The Corner" and "Know Yourself Blackman" recorded for producer Rupie Edwards.
Recording as Jah Lloyd, he turned his hand to deejaying, enjoying hits in Jamaica with "Black Snowfall", "World Class", and "Beware of the Flour". He then recorded with Lee "Scratch" Perry, who decided to rename the deejay Jah Lion, the fruits of their association released on the Columbia Colly album in 1976 on Island Records.
