Essential Artist Collection
After fronting popular Jamaican vocal trio the Paragons on a succession of best-selling rock steady singles during the late Sixties, John Holt went on to become one of Jamaicaâs most popular solo performers, scoring a series of reggae hits for many of the islandâs leading record producers.
His international breakthrough came in 1974 with the hugely popular â1000 Volts of Holtâ album, which fused raw reggae rhythms with sophisticated orchestral arrangements.
The highlight of the long-player was a reworking of Kris Kristofferssonâs country hit, âHelp Me Make It Through The Nightâ, which the following year became a global hit, with the single, peaking at Number 6 in the UK charts. Over the years that followed, Holt remained a giant of the reggae scene with further best sellers and numerous sell-out shows around the world.
The very best of his solo work has been brought together on this âEssential Artistâ compilation, the latest release in Trojan Recordsâ newly launched range that showcases the work of Jamaicaâs best-loved âfoundationâ artists.
Available as a 28-track double vinyl LP and a comprehensive 2CD compilation, the collection superbly illustrates the talent that made John Holt one of the reggae musicâs most popular and enduring singers.
