Funeral services were held today for Philip Smart, an influential music producer who owned and operated a recording studio in Freeport.
Smart was responsible for bringing some of the biggest reggae acts to the American mainstream.
Loved ones say he was a production prodigy.
"If he told you that a song was going to be No. 1, trust me, it was going to be No. 1," said Francine Chin, a local radio host.
Smart died at the age of 53 last week after a long battle with cancer.
