Jamaican reggae singer and songwriter, born July 11, 1947 (or 1942 or 1945 according to some sources) in Kingston, Jamaica. Died October 20, 2014 in London, England, UK.
Review: Starting with the Paragons ("The Tide Is High") during Jamaica's golden Rock Steady era and on through the era of Lovers Rock, John Holt has always maintained a strong presence on the Reggae scene. His smooth, soulful voice is a favorite, particularly on covers of popular American R&B. His is a voice you can truly feel.
