Switchfoot

In 2005, Switchfoot received five Dove Award nominations, including Artist of the Year. He was shot and killed by unknown persons, probably in a robbery attempt, in 1989 (see 1989 in music). The song "Gone" has also received airplay on Christian radio stations but wasn't released as an actual single. In the 1980s, he focused on production for Anthony Red Rose, Sugar Minott and other popular musicians. A re-recorded version of "Dare You to Move" has been high on the charts as well. By the later part of the decade though, King Tubby had mostly retired from music, still occasionally recording remixes and tutoring a new generation of artists, including King Jammy and Scientist. The hit single "Meant to Live" enjoyed widespread airplay on rock radio stations and transitioned into the top 40. In 1973, he began recording vocals to put along the instrumentals.

Their latest album, The Beautiful Letdown, has been their most successful to date. He had a long string of hit songs, and worked as a producer for some of Jamaica's most popular artists, including Lee Perry, Bunny Lee, Augustus Pablo and Yabby You. Singer and actor Mandy Moore, who starred in the movie, sang Switchfoot's song "Only Hope" during a scene in the movie. During the 1970s, Tubby's work in the studio gave rise to modern dub music. A number of Switchfoot's songs were included in the 2002 movie A Walk to Remember. His remixes soon proved enormously popular, and he became one of the biggest celebrities in Jamaica. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music.". By 1971 (see 1971 in music), Tubby's soundsystem was one of the most popular in Kingston and he decided to open a studio of his own.

To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. In time, Tubby (and others) began shifting the emphasis in the instrumentals, adding sounds and removing others and adding various special effects, like echoes. "We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense. At Treasure Isle, a studio, Tubby began making remixes of hit songs, usually by simply removing the vocals. According to Jon Foreman, the name "Switchfoot" is a surfing term. Tubby began working with Duke Reid in 1968. Switchfoot is a United States rock and alternative rock band that rose to mainstream prominence in the mid-2000s. As a radio repairman, Tubby soon became quite helpful at most of the sound systems around.
