Winston Wright
Winston Wright was a Jamaican keyboardist. He was a member of Tommy McCook's Supersonics, and acknowledged as Jamaica's master of the Hammond.[1] Winston was born in May Pen, Jamaica in 1944 and died in Kingston, Jamaica in 1993.[2][3] He attended Glenmuir High School where he learned the organ on an old Clavonette Organ. While he was in school, he played with a local group called the Mercury Band based at the Capri Theatre in May Pen, much to his father ire.[4] Tommy McCook saw Winston play at this time and he was invited to join the Supersonics, Treasure Isle house band...and as they say, the rest is history.
Wright produced a solo single: Top Secret, with the B-side Crazy Rhythm in 1970.[5]
