Studio One was one of the most significant U.S. anthology drama series during the 1950s.
Studio One provides an emblematic continuity for the 1950s drama: it was the longest running drama anthology series, lasting ten years from 1948-58, from the "big freeze" through the "golden age" to the made-in-Hollywood 90-minute film format: in all over 500 plays were produced.
Still, unlike film, live studio time was real time, and the ineluctable rule of live drama was that the length of a performance was as long as it took to see it.
Studio One is one of reggae's most renowned record labels and recording studios, having been described as "the Motown of Jamaica."
The label and recording studio were founded by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd in 1954 on Brentford Road in Kingston.
Studio One had a hand in most of the major movements in Jamaican music during the 1960s and 1970s, including ska, rocksteady — although Duke Reid's rocksteady output at his own Treasure Isle label overshadowed Dodd's — reggae, dub and dancehall.
