Freddie
McGregor born in Kingston, Jamaica on June 27, 1956 and joined the
Clarendonians at the age of seven in 1963. He hasn't stopped
singing since, first for Coxsone Dodd's Studio One, through the
Soul Syndicate in the late '70s, then as his own producer in the
'80s. Bobby Bobylon became one of the finest productions in Dodd's
history, compiling a decade's worth of unreleased tracks into
Freddie's masterpiece. He has his own studio Big Ship Records.
Freddie
McGregor the unstoppable wonder with the golden voice, has
returned once again with his 9th LP release entitled,
"Anthology". "Anthology" a 2 disc CD with 20
mellow tracks, is comprised of hits from a list of classic albums
like, ³Now², the "Jamaican Classics Series",
"Masterpiece" and "Push On" and amongst them
are some of Freddie¹s greatest hits, tracks like, "Big
Ship", "Stop Loving You", "I Was Born A
Winner" and "Loving Pauper", just to name a few.
Freddie
Mc Gregor a family man with three boys and three girls, has been
in the business for about 25 years, coming up through the ranks of
reggae alongside veterans like Gregory Issacs, Dennis Brown, and
Bob Marley. He loves football and riding and owns his own horses.
He has had extended tours throughout the US, Japan and Caribbean
but admitted Germany is a favorite of his as they have embraced
reggae like no othe European country. Equally at home in lovers
rock or Rasta roots, composer/singer McGregor is consistently
satisfying.
