It was the summer of 1978 and singer Ruddy Thomas had one of the hottest songs on Jamaican radio with "Loving Pauper". He was accompanied by deejay Trinity's "Judgement Time".
Trinity, who died April 8 in hospital in Kingston, Jamaica, enjoyed a good run during the 1970's. "Judgement Time", on which he laments a run of hard luck, heard him at his peak.
The Ruddy Thomas/Trinity 'combination' was produced by Joe Gibbs, whose camp at the time included chart-riding Dennis Brown, Culture and George Nooks.
Born in February, 1954, Trinity began recording in 1976. He reeled off several hits for Gibbs including the humorous "Three Piece Suit" and "Starsky And Hutch".
Trinity was from the rugged Payne Land area of Kingston, not far from the Waltham Park neighborhood which produced his friend and fellow deejay Dillinger.
It was Dillinger who brought Trinity into the music business, helping him get his first recording session at Channel One studio.
Trinity, whose given name was Wade Brammer Jr., also had measured success as a producer. His biggest hit was "No Guns to Town" by Natty King.
