Jamaican singer born in Clarendon, Jamaica on June 27, 1956. At age seven, he started singing backup for a local ska harmony duo called The Clarendonians and did his first recordings aged 10 years with the name “Little Freddie” or “Young Freddie”, and as a duo with Ernest Wilson aka “Freddie & Fitsy”. McGregor stayed at Studio One for much of the ’70s. He sang lead for groups like Generation Gap and Soul Syndicate, and also recorded off and on as a solo act during the ’70s. In 1975, McGregor converted to Rastafarianism. Freddie McGregor’s debut album Mr. McGregor was released in 1979. The album opens with “We Got Love” featuring a Tower of Power influenced horn section underneath McGregor’s tale of love conquering all. The classic “Rastaman Camp” combines muted horn and an earthy, Nyahbinghi-like chorus for one of producer Niney’s deeper constructions, but the lightweight fare is equally welcome as the easy strolling and not too sugary version of “Brandy” displays. Mr. McGregor is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on orange coloured vinyl.
