Short story:

Winston Richards is born in Duckenfield, Jamaica, Caribbean. He will find success as session drummer Winston Grennan, remembered for his work with Toots And The Maytals, Bob Marley, the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff and Desmond Dekker. He is also famed as the inventor of the one drop rhythm in the late 1960s, which places kick/snare emphasis on the third beat within a highly syncopated 4/4 bar.
