Sir Lord Comic was one of the earliest deejays and is considered a real pioneer of the genre. He started out as a regular dancer, a street dancer, in those days also called a »legs man«. Sir Lord Comic used to follow the sound Admiral Deans out from Maxwell Avenue. It was Count Machuki from Sir Coxsone's Downbeat that inspired him to become a deejay. He started following the selector Willy Penny closely and would occasionally play records when Willy Penny desired to dance. The Christmas of 1959 Willy Penny had drunk too much and the boss of the sound, Mr Dean asked Sir Lord Comic if he could manage it. He said yes and enthused he went to Spanish Town Road to borrow a mic from a man called Nat King Prof. Nat King Prof lent him a Grampian mic.
