I would like to add Junior Byles top class vocal range....to all of the above.

The first that came to mind someone already beat me to it: Ken Parker

But I've always thought Stranger Cole & Gladstone Anderson were also some of the sweetest vocals I've ever heard.

I forgot to mention Horace Andy's ONE OF A KIND voice.

Prince Lincoln
Hugh Madoo
Vivian Jones
Dennis Brown
Jah Big
Bob Marley
Lead Singer of Cultural Roots

Sugar Minott, you gotta listen.

Brent Dowe

Hugh Mundell

I agree Horace Andy (and his voice is for real, see him live, same brilliant voice, it's not just a studio production),

but also Wayne Jarrett - that man can really sing.

Don Carlos
Hugh Mundell
L. Castell
Vaughn Benjamin
Cocoa Tea
B. Marley
P.Tosh
Dennis Brown
Michael Rose
Junior Reid
Burning Spear
Sugar Minott
Garnet Silk
Luciano
Jah Cure
Jacob Hemphill (Soldiers Of Jah Army)
Albert Griffiths
Clinton Fearon
Winston Jarrett
Barrington Levy
Junior Kelly
Turbulence
Natural Black
and many many more

Brilliant vocals from Junior Delahaye - especially on Wackies 'Reggae' (Showcase) LP


BUT don't forget the sistren:

Susan Cadogon - especially on 'Hurt so good'

And

Sheila Hylton 'Breakfast in Bed'

both superb and big favourites 12" tracks of mine.

LITTLE JOHN

DON CARLOS

MICHEAL PROPHET

MILTON HENRY

AND OF COURSE BOB MARLEY

Ken Boothe

Was Jimmy Cliff mentioned anywhere above or Mr Toots Maytail himself?
