Sadly Ska Failed To Capture The Imagination Of The American Public Until After The Movement Had Ended While The “Wild West” Mentality Of The Jamaican Music Business Coupled With The Singer’s Soft Temperament Left Him Short Of The Financial Rewards Gained By Some Of His Peers So In 1970 He Retired To The United States. Yet His Memory Burned Strong The Minds Of The US Caribbean Community And He Was Eventually Tempted Back To Record For The Washington DC Kibwe Label In 1988. 1999 Even Saw A Triumphant Return To Jamaica After 3 Decades For The Concert Series Heineken Star Time. Ten Years Later Morris’ Son Reuben Introduced Monty To The Singer/producer Sadiki Who Became His Manager.
