Paula/1995 Owen "TOP" Rankine was born in Kingston,Jamaica. At age three,he was riding a bus with his mother and they were both listing to the nations only radio station. Then, baby Owen asked, "Where is the man in the radio?".As a curious boy,he started to search for "THE MAN IN THE RADIO". Owen grew up and attended high school.He was the founder of his high school photography club,and was very active in the choir, singing in a high-pitch opera type voice. At age 17,he graduated from his high school and began his first permanent job at the Jamaica Broadcasting Radio & TV Station as a studio engineer and a radio announcer.At the age of three,this was the same radio he was listening to, while riding the bus with his mother. Now he becomes "THE MAN IN THE RADIO". Aside from working at the station,Owen was assigned to remote(outside) broadcasts at shopping malls,the race track,and political conventions. But his favorite assignment was "traffic tips".This assignment allowed him to fly over the city on board a Cessna twin engine aircraft,as a radio operator,to assist traffic gridlocks on city streets during peak hour traffic.While at the Radio station,Owen's taste for music had grown tremendously.When off the air, he would lock up himself in the record library for up to five hours,listening to all types of music. Genres of music included jazz,R&B and contemporary music. On his days off, he would work part-time at various recording studios as a studio engineer,Record Specialists and Harry J Recording Stidio. While at JBC Radio,he joined a newly formed reggae band called "SKIN,FLESH AND BONES",which included popular musicians SLY DUNBAR, LLYOD PARKS AND RANCHIE Maclean,to name a few.On week-ends, Owen took up flying courses at the airport.His intention was to become a commercial pilot,but his endeavor was interrupted because he migrated to New York City. While living in New York City,he attended college and majored in Broadcast Engineering. He then joined WBAI-FM Radio,New York City, as a radio announcer,doing various radio shows - R&B,Reggae and Jazz. Afterwards, he left WBAI-FM Radio and worked on many other radio stations across the USA, producing and hosting his own radio and TV shows. Throughout his career,he was Master of Ceremonies (Emcee) for various major Live Reggae Concerts, STEELE PULSE,JIMMY CLIFF,THIRD WORLD , BLACK UHURU and ASWAD to name a few. Owen has also written and produce voice overs for several hundred promos, jingles and commercials. In 1981,Owen moved to Los Angeles and founded a company called Reggae Magazine TV (RM-TV).RM-TV was registered and operated in the city of Los Angeles and was responsible for a lot of Major Reggae concerts in Los Angeles. Owen continued to host and produce his own radio show, while producing and promoting major reggae concerts at THE UNIVERSAL AMPHITHEATRE, THE HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM, THE PALACE THEATRE AND THE GREEK THEATRE to name a few.After two years the company's magazine publication division became inactive.However, the company still continue to provide entertainment services to the Los Angeles community in other areas such as Radio Programs,Reggae Concert promotions, and Reggae music record store outlet.Reggae Magazine TV Record store was located at a popular street location,the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue.The store was always visited by major celebrities, Richard Roundtree, Whoopi Goldberg to name a few, who loves Reggae Music. How coincidental, that The Los Angeles Songwriters Showcase(LASS), operated by Len Chandler and John Braheny, was Owen's immediate Record Store neighbour.Owen was invited to be a guest at The LASS Songwriters Music Convention at Pasadena City College,to choose,organize and lead a group of people, in attendance,knowledgeable about Reggae Music.They were to become panelists and assist in the selection of credible Reggae musicians for The Los Angeles Songwriters Showcase.The conference was a success ,Owen and the panelists were featured in The Songwriters Musepaper,a monthly magazine by LASS. Owen continued working diligently to help expose and promote Reggae Music to The Los Angeles population, through the medium of radio programs, the record store and live major concerts. As a pioneer, sometimes called a "trend setter",OWEN was the first concert promoter to bring Reggae Music to The Universal Amphitheatre in Hollywood. Often times he would emcee the concert and take the opportunity after concert performances to have the celebrities appear at his record store to sign autographs with concert fans. In 1992,the company reduced its operation and is currently involved in song writing and music productions. In 1987,Owen wrote a concept for a new music program. The program was aired live for several months on KMAX-RADIO, Pasadena, California. The music program had three music categories:R&B-Reggae, Rock and Roll Reggae and Jamaican Reggae. From a businessman to a singer,Owen didn't know he was going to be writing and singing songs,but he had an insight,for several years, that Reggae Music would inter-marry (merged) with R&B music and be called a new name.Several years after that,the name Hip/Hop Reggae, a new music style was born. Then one day in late 1993, a friend of Owen's, Vida Rankine(no relation) ,asked him to do some Jamaican rapping accents on her Hip-Hop single. After being asked several times,Owen reluctantly went to the studio. While in there,he went into a high energy mode,his voice filled the studio with excitement and electricity.After co-writing and vocally recording Vida's Hip-Hop single,Owen got motivated and started writing, composing and producing his own materials. With two singles completed, Owen's attorney friend took the demo tape to Phil's Collins attorney,Barry Menace.Barry liked the songs very much and encouraged Owen to make more songs. Following that,Owen had an appointment with Maurice Warfield of CBS Records. Luther Vandross was on his way to Maurice's office,therefore Owen's meeting ended quickly, however Maurice was able to listen to Owen's demo scratch vocals of the two songs and fell in love with them both. Maurice also encourage Owen to continue writing as many songs as he could.Then it all started. After all these years, from working outside the music business, he finally decided to come and work inside the business as a balladeer, writing, composing and producing songs,such as Hip-Hop Reeggae,R&B Jazz Music,R&B Ballads,contemporary,and Reggaee Music.He intends to duplicate every American love ballad song with a Reggae spin-off version.Rich with his song writing ability beeginning with radio promos,jingles and commercials,he is now creating his own unique style of songs.Owen considers himself a balladeer and a singer/ songwriter with over 500 songs in his repertoire.Songs for duets, duos,solo male,solo female,male and female groups. Owen is supported by the "TOP RANKINE GIRLS" on background vocals. Sometimes he enjoys featuring several of his male and female vocalists from his "Top Rankine Singers",singing as a duet or a duo.Some day he anticipates forming his "Top Rankine Orchestra",backed by his current "Top Rankine Singers", to support his rich bass voice and give his audience full satisfaction of his writing and singing talent. On April 24, 1995, he appeared as a guest on "Five Minutes of Fame", on KKBT-92.3 FM, Los Angeles, the #1 radio station with 1 Million listenership.Three songs were featured: "A Million Words", "Midnight Doctor", and "Take Your Time". Words can not explain Owen's excitement. Words could not portray his confidence. Words are not enough to describe his happiness, now he is able to expose other submerged talents.Words cannot eexplain his hope. Wait until you hear "A Million Words" to say I Love You (sideA-#1), with lyrics full of comedy and humor. This million dollar love ballad song is a duo with Owen baritone, sometimes using his million dollar bass voice,while Ron Coleman (RC),a supporting artist,uses his high- pitch soulful voice, to mesmerize the radio audience.Owen once described this song as a tear dropper, from the lovemaker. "Midnight Doctor" (side A-#2),has a Hip-Hop/Reggaelicious flavor beat,with lots of love making lyrics.This song came on strong to the radio audience.It's filled with comedy and lots of humor.This trio combination song was written with three parts, An American male rapper, An American Female singer and a Jamaican Male Rapper. Currently,Owen plays a double male rapper role using unique talents of switching back and forth from an American accent bass voice,to a Jamaican accent high pitch or bass voice.Elizabth Hangan sings hook vocals,with her sweet smooth voice.Then there is a song you can laugh to while dancing,Owen wrote aand composed "Take your Time"(side A-#4), another Hip-Hop Reggaee flavor,with love making lyrics and a Reggae base line. "BJ" uses her sexy singing and rides the music track with her voice, doing the hook vocals. The stations radio audience participation gave overwhelming, positive responses,asking for more,more,more.After the five minutes of successful true test-marketing,Owen continued to plunge straight ahead and promote other songs like,"Lets Get Married" and have a baby, (side A-#3).This song is a duet with Owen and Rose Womack on lead. A smooth love ballad, and sometimes called a "heart-breaker". If you listen carefully, it will send chills through your body and sometimes makes your body work up a sweat.After all that sweating, there's nothing like "Turn On The Shower",and taking a refreshing shower,especially with the one you love. "Turn on the shower",this song has a R&B Jazz-Ballad flavor, with Owen bass vocals along with "RC" and Owen background vocals.The only problem with this song is it is only 4 minutes:55 seconds, it's just not enough..not enough time baby,"for a shower".After hearing this song,believe me,you will want to stay all day in a shower. Recently,after celebrating his birthday,Owen thought how appropriate it would be to release a birthday song written for every one to use. This ballad song ,a song of celebration,"Happy Birthday To You", has Owen on barritone voice and "RC" on background vocals. Whether it's your birthday or not, this R&B Reggaelicious song will surely make you "Have a nice day".The song,"Have a Nice Day", has a message in the music - slow down and pick up the phone and call someone,anyone you love, and say "Have a Nice Day".This is a slow song, a ballad song, a love song. After reading his biography,you now know "A Million Words", is not enough to describe the man,the man inside the music,"The Man in The Radio".
