Leslie Kong (20 December 1933 – 9 August 1971) was a Jamaican reggae producer.
Early life
Kong was born into a Chinese-Jamaican family. He had a "relatively comfortable upbringing" and attended St. George's College in Kingston.
Career
Leslie and his two older brothers Cecil and Lloyd ran a restaurant, ice cream parlour and record shop called Beverley's in Orange Street, Kingston. This encounter led Kong to launch his own record label, Beverley's, and to record Cliff's song, launching Cliff's career in the process.
Other vocalists who recorded for him and the Beverley's label include Ken Boothe, Bruce Ruffin, the Gaylads
