Mikey Chung (guitarist, bassist, keyboardist):

One of the most prolific musicians throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Chung was a member of Now Generation, house band at Federal Studio. He joined drummer Sly Dunbar and bass player Robbie Shakespeare in Peter Tosh's Word, Sound and Power band in the late 1970s. Chung also played alongside the duo in the Compass Point All Stars, the band that backed some of Island's biggest names (Grace Jones, Black Uhuru, Marianne Faithful) at Blackwell's state-of-the-art studio in Nassau, Bahamas.

"That was really a creative time, we'd really a do some things. It was musicians loving the music and getting the chance to work with different sounds," Chung told Tidbits Thursday.

Ironically, Chung said next week's show will be the first time the Compass Point All Stars play together on stage.

Wilfred 'Jackie' Edwards (singer/songwriter)

One of the first performers signed to Island. He left for England shortly after Blackwell moved the company's operations there in the early 1960s. Edwards is known for ballads like Tell Me Darling, but he wrote two of Island's biggest hit songs, Keep On Running and Somebody Help Me, both recorded by the Spencer Davis Group.

Edwards died in August 1992 at the age of 64.
