Free John Holt Reggae MP3's From Amazon.com

YOU KNOW THE MUSIC of John Holt even if you don't know his name. As the lead singer of the great Jamaican vocal group The Paragons, Holt was the voice behind such reggae hits as "On the Beach" and "My Best Girl," but it was Blondie's cover of his composition "The Tide Is High" that has put royalties into his pockets for years (or so one hopes).

But it was as a solo artist, singing covers and lovers' rock, that Holt became a superstar in England in the '70s. He returned to more rootsy material in the '80s, and to this day the ultra-prolific veteran vocalist navigates between sweet soul-reggae and deeper Rasta-steeped tracks — but people respond to the honey-voiced crooner no matter what he's singing.
