Along with releasing three albums (12" of Slackness, Ranking & Swing, and Ranking Slackness) Echo performed regularly on Stereophonic sound system alongside singer Madoo and deejays Johnny Ringo, Welton Irie, and occasionally Brigadier Jerry and Lone Ranger. He also owned his own soundsystem Echo Tone. General Echo died from gunshot in Kingston, Jamaica 1980.
