Sly explains his creative process and his formula for making a hit song. Sly has worked with Grace Jones, Cyndy Lauper, Bob Dylan and every reggae and dancehall star in Jamaica. With his partner Robbie Shakespeare they are responsible for countless hits.
They made a breakthrough on the U.K. pop charts with 1987's Rhythm Killers, an experimental funk/dance album produced by the equally prolific and boundary-breaking Bill Laswell. Active well into the 21st century, the duo produced hit singles by No Doubt, released dub albums like 2014's Underwater Dub, and collaborated extensively with artists ranging from British reggae singer Bitty McLean to Finnish electronic experimentalist Vladislav Delay.
