Encyclopedia
Clint Eastwood & General Saint were a reggae

(b. Robert Brammer) and General Saint (b. Winston Hislop). Noted for putting on lively, theatrical and humorous performances, Eastwood and Saint came to be known as a novelty
act in Jamaica
.
Jamaican Eastwood was already an established solo
deejay with a string of album
s behind him when he teamed up with British
deejay Saint, their first release being "Tribute to General Echo
", about the recently killed slack
deejay. They hit the UK Singles Chart
with their version of "Last Plane (One Way Ticket)" in 1984. Both of the duo's studio
albums made the Top 5 of the UK Independent Chart. 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.
The duo reunited to perform at the Luton
Love Music Hate Racism
festival at St. Georges Square in August 2010. They made a video for Love Music Hate Racism featuring Luton band Shabby Tinkerz, and performed live on Mark Lemarr's BBC Radio 2
show. They are currently undertaking a UK tour, with a new album due out in 2011, on their new record label
, Blujeanz Records.
