JOHN HOLT TRIBUTE MIX

JOHN HOLT TRIBUTE MIX

John Holt (1947–2014) was a legendary Jamaican singer and songwriter who played a pivotal role in shaping the sounds of Rocksteady and Reggae. Before going solo, he was the lead singer of the iconic group "The Paragons". He wrote their biggest hit, "The Tide Is High," which later became a global #1 for Blondie. In the early 70s, he went solo and became one of Jamaica's biggest stars. His track "Stick By Me" was the biggest-selling Jamaican single of 1972. The 1974 album "1000 Volts Of Holt" is considered a masterpiece, blending reggae with orchestral arrangements. It helped him break into the UK mainstream. In 1983, he released the massive hit "Police In Helicopter", which remains a "ganja anthem" and one of the most recognizable tracks in reggae history. Known as a "crooner," Holt had a smooth, soulful voice that made him a pioneer of the Lovers Rock subgenre and is remembered as one of the most consistent and prolific songwriters in Caribbean music history.
