Biography


Horace Andy (born Horace Hinds, 19 February 1951, Kingston, Jamaica), is a roots reggae singer, known for hits such as "Government Land", "You Are My Angel", "Skylarking" and a cover version of "Ain't No Sunshine". Andy made his earliest recordings in the late 1960s, at Coxsone Dodd's Studio One. Known for his distinctive falsetto vocal style, he sang on many classic productions for reggae producer, including Phil Pratt, King Tubby and Prince Jammy. He is a devout Rastafarian and, like many reggae singers, much of his material deals with themes of religion and social justice. However, his lyrics have also been homophobic - an example is the song 'Runaway' on the 2004 album Horace Andy Meets Mad Professor - From The Roots in which 'chi chi man and lesbian' are associated with 'wicked Babylon' and listeners are exhorted to 'do the right, burn the wrong'.Andy, Horace: Horace Andy Meets Mad Professor - From The R
