The news this morning of John Holt’s passing was very sad indeed. As one of the godfathers of lovers rock and rocksteady, but also as a pionneer of reggae, there is no doubt that today we lost one of the greats.
So to honour his talent and legacy, here is a top ten of some of his best hits :
- Police in Helicopter
- Ali Baba
- Strange Things
- Left with a Broken Heart (w/ The Paragons)
- Everybody Needs Love
- Wild Fire (w/ Dennis Brown)
- Mercy Mercy (w/ The Paragons)
- Youth Pon De Corner
- Hooligan (w/ The Paragons)
- Love and Understanding
