Magic in the Moonlight - Sugar Belly

Sugar Belly (William Walker) was a Jamaican mento musician. He developed on his own the instrument he called the bamboo saxophone. At the height of his popularity in the late 1950s Sugar Belly was one of the important figures in the Jamaican music scene, turning his homemade saxophone into a natural vehicle for a distinctively Caribbean musical style. Sugar Belly was raised in Kingston. In music he was entirely self-taught.
