He also released an album on Merge Production, “Walls Of The City” – Earl 16 Meets Nick Manaseh in March 2013, featuring both British and international artists, on vinyl, digital download and CD.

Daley grew up in Waltham Park Road, Kingston, and, influenced by American soul and Jamaican artists such as Dennis Brown, began his singing career by entering local talent shows. He became the lead vocalist for the group The Flaming Phonics, playing live around Jamaica. Daley decided to drop out of school to pursue his music career, which prompted his mother to throw him out of the family home. Needing to make some money, the group tried out for producer Duke Reid, but left before finishing their recording for him due to his habit of firing live gunshots in the studio. They then worked with Herman Chin Loy, with Daley cutting his first solo track, “Hey baby”. The group split up, with Daley concentrating on his solo career. Daley recorded “Malcolm X” for producer Joe Gibbs in 1975 – a track written by his school-friend Winston McAnuff, and which was later successfully covered by Dennis Brown. In 1977, he joined Boris Gardiner’s group, The Boris Gardiner Happening, which brought him into contact with Lee “Scratch” Perry. In the late 1970s, after a spell with Derrick Harriott, Daley recorded four tracks at Perry’s Black Ark studio, including the original recording of “White Belly Rat”, also meeting Earl Morgan of The Heptones, who later produced his album, Shining Star. In the early 1980s he recorded singles for a variety of producers including Linval Thompson, Augustus Pablo, Clement Dodd, Sugar Minott, Yabby You, and Derrick Harriott, and recorded his debut album with Mikey Dread. He teamed up with Roy Cousins for two albums, Julie and Special Request. Earlier material recorded for Studio One was released as 1985’s Showcase album.
