Reggae Classic Stage Show: Hot Shots 1988 Jr Demus, Major Mackerel, Shabba Ranks, Sanchez, & more

Reggae Classic Stage Show: Hot Shots 1988 Jr Demus, Major Mackerel, Shabba Ranks, Sanchez, & more Junior Demus is known for the gruff-voiced chants that he can spill out at the drop of a dime, even without a microphone around. "When Me Come" was Demus' first single. It became available to fans in 1991. Luke Records released Demus' debut full-length album, Bad Fowl, three years later. Some of the tracks from this effort are "Come Quick," "Son of a Gun," and "Hold Me Down." He has also recorded a number of other singles, including "One Master," "Good Over Evil," and the popular number "Cabin Stabbin," which he completed with Super Cat and the late Nicodemus. They also worked together on the album The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Crazy for Sony Music in 1994. The Mackerel (born December 25, 1967) was a popular entertainer during the digital era of Jamaican dancehall music, most famous for his screeching sounds when he performed live or in studio. This style has also been adopted by female DJ Lady Mackerel, now known as Macka Diamond. Major Mackerel has done his fair share of putting reggae on the map. He is known for hits such as "Pretty Looks Done", "Dutty Bungle", "Hot", "Inna Di Party" among other amazing songs. Shabba Ranks was arguably the most popular dancehall toaster in the world. He was a massive crossover success in the U.S., thanks to an openly commercial hybrid of reggae and hip-hop, and also to prominent duet partners like Maxi Priest, Johnny Gill, and KRS-One. All of this brought him several hit singles and albums on the R&B charts in the early '90s, and made him the first dancehall artist to win a Grammy. Ranks' distinctive, booming growl of a voice earned him many imitators, and his sex-obsessed lyrics -- while drawing criticism for their unrelenting "slackness" -- made him one of dancehall's hottest sex symbols. Ranks' early success also helped pave the way for even bigger crossovers by artists like Shaggy and Sean Paul. Reggae singer Sanchez D was born Kevin Anthony Jackson in Kingston, Jamaica on November 30, 1964. A member of his church choir throughout adolescence, he became immersed in reggae while in high school, and was eventually named the selector for the local Rambo Sound System. In time, Sanchez turned to singing as well, and in 1987 issued his debut single "Lady in Red"; a year later, he scored a major hit with the Winston Riley-produced "Loneliness." Known for his silky vocals and penchant for pop covers (including a smash rendition of Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You"), his many albums include 1989's Number One, 1993's Tell It Like It Is, 1995's Praise Him, and 1999's True Identity. ❤️💛💚 Uk's Leading Broadcast Station For Reggae & Sound System Culture Artists, Sound Systems, Preserving & Documenting #Reggae #Culture For more Quality Vibes Subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
