Justin Hinds - Jezebel

** Justin Hinds (7 May 1942 - 16 March 2005) was a Jamaican ska vocalist, with his backing singers the Dominoes. Justin Hinds was born in Steertown, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica in 1942. He started his musical career singing in bars and on the beach in Ochos Rios. Hinds moved to Kingston, Jamaica where he became influenced by Rastafari. He was turned down by the Sir Coxsone record label owned by Coxsone Dodd, but signed with Treasure Isle Records. By this stage, the Dominoes consisting of Dennis Sinclair and Junior Dixon had become his backing vocalists. The singers are believed to have taken their name both from a love of Fats Domino and dominoes.

Hinds died of lung cancer in March 2005, at the age of 62.
