John Holt - Just The Two Of Us скачать видео бесплатно

Rest in peace John. You and your music will always be remembered. Thank you for everything (11 July 1947 – 19 October 2014)

"Holt was born in Kingston in 1947. By the age of 12, he was a regular entrant in talent contests run at Jamaican theaters by Vere Johns. He recorded his first single in 1963 with "I Cried a Tear" for record producer Leslie Kong, and also recorded duets with Alton Ellis. He achieved prominence in his home country as lead singer of The Paragons, with whom he enjoyed a string of hits, including "Ali Baba", "Tonight", "I See Your Face", and the Holt penned "The Tide Is High". Holt left the Paragons in 1970 and concentrated on his solo career. By the early 1970s, he was one of the biggest stars of reggae, and his "Stick By Me" was the biggest selling Jamaican record of 1972, one of a number of records recorded with producer Bunny Lee. Holt's style, notably slower and more romantic than most of his contemporaries, is a recognisable forerunner of the lovers rock style which developed in the UK during the 1970s."
