Quirky or strange reggae vocalists

[rokkimake]

Junior Reid. Sometimes his (over)fervent singing annoys me, but you can get accustomed to it like you do to other original Jamaican vocalists and there are plenty of them. Yesterday I was listening Michael Prophet's Gunman LP and I do really love his "yodelling" at the begining of his songs though outsiders could disagree.
Easier to name voices which could pass in western music circles: John Holt, Dennis Brown, Sugar Minott, Leroy Sibbles, Cornell Campbell.

To me understanding the greatness of Gregory Isaacs' voice was some kind of culmination point on the way deeper into reggae. At first I tried to evaluate this unique voice from the soul fan's viewpoint making remarks about lack of power, certain thinness, but fortunately I realized that you need not always to shout to achieve your goals (e.g. picking up gals). Gregory's cool ruler-style phrasing on some rockers rhythms is totally awesome as you know but there could be few heavy metal fans who can't get it.
On the other hand I can't understand their "kill 'em all"-concept.

Having just got some, I'd say Winston Jarrett's voice is an acquired taste. Can't imagine him hitting big in the west pop scene

JA singers are almost so diverse that it's hard for me to determine what qualifies as different. there's been some good picks so far, I might add Israel Vibration

Does Ari Up count as reggae? I'd say so...

Enough with the foolishness anyway....someone mentioned Winston Jarrett, the singer is tuff. But if were talkin a bit quirky, I would "Chip In" and say Wayne Jarrett, or any of the other Horace Andy-esque types like Patrick Andy as well....
Oh yeah cant forget White Mice either.....or Dub Judah..

mr. Locks always sounds funny to these ears. Blasphemy, probably, but it is what it is..
