I knew of John Holt, not personally but his songs and him as a Reggae artist. I first met and saw John Holt, at Club Carib in New Rochelle N.Y., back in 2002-2003 I believe, don’t really remember the date but I do remember him giving me his number to call him for an interview.\u00a0 I was humbled, I did call but he was out of town; needless to say that was that. There he had performed and brought the house down\u00a0, I will not forget that night because it was the same night that a little known singer by the name of Teddy Brown, also sang and trilled the audience. A night to remember, money well spend.<\/p>\n

John Holt, was a legend in time…he gave us his all over 50-years, and kept his name on the calendar of events each and every year, \u00a0all the way up to 2014. He was a stalwart for Jamaica and will be missed dearly.\u00a0 Thousands of Reggae lovers and Jamaicans alike mourned his passing a few days ago Oct 19, 2014; no one saw it coming…his music will be testimonies to\u00a0 a generation yet to come and those that are already here.\u00a0 Some of his biggest hits were: Blondie<\/em>, Police in Helicopter<\/em> and The Hide is High….<\/em>just to mention a few. He was probably one of the most talked about Reggae Artist next to Bob Marley. He lived and die a humble artist with the sweetest voice one could ever hear, right up there with Dennis Brown, Luther Vandross and another veteran reggae artist \u00a0Jah Hammed.<\/p>\n

Born July 11, 1947 ….he died October 19, 2014<\/span><\/p>\n
