Frankie Paul – Live and Learn

Description

Hailed as one of Jamaica’s biggest dancehall stars, Frankie Paul / F.P. also known as Paul Blake has been making hits for decades. Born blind in Kingston, Jamaica, he began singing at an early age. He received some vision following an operation on a hospital ship.

Dubbed the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder”, he adopted the stage name, Frankie Paul. He first came to the record-buying public’s attention in the early ’80s, when he shared the honours with Sugar Minott on a Channel One ‘Clash’ album entitled “Showdown Volume 2”. Sugar Minott was already established, while Frankie Paul was billed as ‘the up and coming superstar’, but it was not long before he became one of the most prolific singers in the history of reggae music in the 1980s and churned out hits such as “Worries in the Dance”, “Pass the Ku Shung Peng”, “Tidal Wave”, “Cassanova” and “Sarah”.
