John Holt has gone down in history as one of the greatest Musicians to emerge from Jamaica. Asides from being among the elite club to stay relevant from the Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Lovers Rock and even Dancehall eras he's also one of the finest vocalists of his generation. He's also credited with being the brain behind the creation of dancehall as a distinct sub-genre of reggae

@@Scratch7.7.7 It is like any normal wall at the front of a house, people do leave stuff outside, I live in a well to do area and over the years have picked up many items of value that I have flipped for cash, finding the CD was a surprise, maybe I am blessed by Jah, may Jah drop you some joy :)

Brilliant when things like that happen.. sometimes I leave books at bus stops.. it would be lovely to find a bag of herbs on a brick wall... Wishful thinking specially the prices of it in England..@@ChayBode

John Holt was one artist I was exposed to by my son's father 46 yrs.ago. Great voice, big up the Paragons...

@normanbajnaut2108 Ай бұрын

John Holt is the best singer out of Jamaica. Until his death,his voice never changed. I’ve been listening to his songs since the days of the Paragons.

John Holt was indeed a legend in the music industry, and his influence and legacy continue to be celebrated by many. He was a great guy. In an interview, Max Romeo admitted that if it wasn't for John Holt's advice to return to Jamaica from the USA, he could have gotten lost in the USA

I didn’t know when that was a reggae version of red red wine first and UB40 like it and played it and it’s was #1 in London and I’m 54 years old

@Gray-zi5bp Ай бұрын

Neil diamond originally wrote red red wine.. but when UB40 covered it UB40 was amazed because it wasn't a original reggae song what was a reggae it in the 60s by lord creator. I love the 60s reggae take and I love UB40 12 in but I must say did not go too much on when John covered it on 1997 album ... Fistful of Holt a pretty good album from my greatest vocalists of all time the late great sir John Holt. 💯🇬🇧👍

@Gray-zi5bp Ай бұрын

Accidentally got into reggae music in 1990 thank God my friends thought I was a little bit for a 13 year old white boy from London playing all types of reggae music but for me my favourite artist has always been John Holt follow closely by beres Hammond . Bear in mind I'm a big John Holt collector I have almost 850 tracks from John . In my opinion the greatest vocalist all time I'm glad the lead singer from UB40 agrees Ali Campbell.. anyway sorry for waffling 🥱😅💯🇬🇧👍
