It is an honor to drop this post and pay some respect to a foundational participant in the music we all love.
WINSTON McANUFF was born in Manchester Parish, Jamaica into a family of preachers. One of his great-grandfathers was Scottish. He started his musical career singing gospel in the church choir. He recorded his first album Pick Hits to Click in 1978. Still chanting for Jah to this day WINSTON McANUFF drops some more great vocals with "PURPLE RAIN.' Hit that >> GO BUTTON<< family and check this track out!
His best known song from this time is the single "Malcolm X" (about Malcolm X), which was also recorded by Earl Sixteen, and most successfully by Dennis Brown. It was originally recorded by McAnuff for Joe Gibbs but the producer decided not to release it, and he got Earl Sixteen to record it before the song was given to Dennis Brown who recorded it for his Visions of Dennis Brown album.
