John Holt

[flapjacks]

Anyone know/like this reggae artist? I've only ever been able to track down TWO of his songs (one a Beatles cover and one an Elvis cover) but I'm amazed at how great he is.

I'd really like to hear some of his original stuff but can't find any to download (I don't have peer-to-peer functionality).

Can anyone provide some links?

Oh, here, I'LL provide one because it won't let me download this (says I need JavaScript but I already have that; must be the damn firewall I'm behind). Could someone re-up this to rapidshare or yousendit? Please?

All I know is his cover of "I Will" which was sampled for "Encore"

no links but he's my moms favorite reggae singer so i have all her old vinyl's of him. sh*t even his very first "a love i can feel". my Mom went to school with him back in Kingston and has always been a fan...so I grew up listening to his stuff. he's one of the greatest reggae singers of all time. LOVE HIM.

i just went back and caught this. duh. my reading comprehension lost. I'll see if I can upload a few of his songs for you tomorrow....

Thanks a LOT, man. I also checked the local cd store here and they have a beat up old cracked-case cd of his for $5. So I might actually have to buy that. That's awesome that your mom went to school with this guy. No offense to 99% of the world, but I'm not a Bob Marley fan (he's just "good" and has as many great songs as a lot of other musicians I wouldn't call myself a fan of), but gawwwd damn I've never heard ANYONE except John Holt pull off a Beatles cover that's superior to the original. It sounds like it's his own song, like when Jimi covered Dylan.

Uppin.

Are you going to up those tracks or no?

[AnotherGirl]

my bad on the delayed response....his songs are mad hard to find online...
here's what i could find...you're better off hitting up amazon & ordering his joints...

John Holt is fire. If you can, get my favorite joint of his. "Write Myself A Letter". Amazing.
