Freddie
McGregor

When you look at Freddie
McGregor’s list of
accomplishments, you’d think
that it is longer than a
Christmas shopping list. With
a career spanning almost five
decades since the 1960s, he is
not only a singer, producer
and musician who has been
touted to be reggae’s most
soulful singer of all time.

And you really can’t blame
Allmusic for bestowing him
with this title, as he has
been on stage since the age of
seven, and has literally been
there with every change in
Jamaican music such as
loversrock, ska, dancehall,
ragga, dub, rocksteady and
Rastafarian roots reggae.

Perhaps, the biggest reason
why Freddie is such a legend
is because of his conversion
to Rastafari, and has been a
part of the Twelve Tribes
organization since then, and
with the rising popularity of
his debut album known as
‘Bobby Babylon’, he
hasn’t looked back since
then.

Apart from releasing a slew of
albums throughout his career,
he has also toured extensively
in addition to creating
several hits such as “I was
born a winner”, “Just
Don’t Want to be Lonely”,
“Push comes to Shove” and
“Big Ship”.

While slowing down the pace in
the 1990s, his 2000 album
‘Signature’ was received
very well by both critics and
fans while his follow up album
“Anything for You” which
was Grammy-nominated as well.
As a producer, he established
the Big Ship Recording Studio
and has worked with artists
such as Mikey Spice and
Luciano.
