Clint Eastwood & General Saint

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clint Eastwood & General Saint were a reggae deejay duo of the early 1980s, consisting of Clint Eastwood (b. Robert Brammer) and General Saint (b. Winston Hislop).[1] Jamaican Eastwood was already an established solo deejay with a string of albums behind him when he teamed up with British deejay Saint, their first release being "Tribute to General Echo", about the recently killed slack deejay.[1] They hit the UK chart with their version of "Stop That Train". Both of the duo's studio albums made the top 5 of the UK Independent Chart.[2] Saint went on to a solo career, releasing singles such as "Save The Last Dance For Me" and "Oh Carol" (both featuring Don Campbell). One of the duo's live performances was recorded by the BBC for their In Concert programme, and this was later released as an album.
