"Trumpeter, Raymond Harper attended the Alpha Boys School as a boy. As a pupil there, he taught younger pupil Bobby Ellis how to play.

There is a reference in a Gleaner advert that in 1959 he was playing in the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) Orchestra.

It is also known that at one stage Harper played in Coburn’s Orchestra at ‘The Bournemouth’ alongside Don Drummond, Tommy McCook and Roland Alphonso.

He went on to play with the Carib-Beats, and also became the no.1 choice of trumpeter for the records of Prince Buster. He can often be recognised on record by his use of vibrato."
