Born Winston Spark (other say Winston Cooper) in Kingston, Jamaica in 1940, King Stitt was a deejay for Coxsone's sound system behind Count Machouki and Red Hopeton. Based on his lack of looks, King Stitt use to be called the Ugly One. King Stitt became so popular that he evidently ended up running the Number One set of Coxsone while U Roy was behind Number Two. A couple of years later on King Stitt recorded with Clancy Eccles over riddims delivered by The Dynamites.
