RIP John Holt. A classic chune... #JohnHolt #Reggae #Legend Holt, who was initially known for his career with the Paragons in the rocksteady era of the 1960s, had 40 albums under his belt alongside his reputation for strong live performances. Holt demonstrated talent for roots reggae in the 1980s, making Police in Helicopter a 1983 hit while continuing to steadily tour. He was also the first Jamaican artist, alongside fellow singer Freddy McGregor, to perform with Londons Royal Symphony Orchestra. More than anything, Holt will be remembered for his unmistakable tone. He was a balladeer singing popular, uptempo music, Andy says. He had such a naturally good voice that he didnt need to push the envelope. He has the most unique balladeer voice in Jamaican music. Across the board, he was the voice of our era.
