SUMMARY:Freddie McGregor Live in Concert!
DESCRIPTION:WorldBeat Center presents Reggae Legend\, Freddie McGregor
	\, live in concert!\n\nFreddie McGregor is one of reggae's most durabl
	e and soulful singers\, with an incredibly steady career that started 
	all the way back in the '60s\, when he was just seven years old. McGre
	gor was born in Clarendon\, Jamaica on June 27\, 1956. At age seven\, 
	he started singing backup for a local ska harmony duo called the Clare
	ndonians (naturally\, with the nickname of Little Freddie McGregor). I
	n 1975\, McGregor converted to Rastafarianism\, which had a profound i
	mpact on his music. In 1981\, McGregor scored a huge hit single with "
	Big Ship\," which catapulted him to the front rank of reggae stars in 
	the immediate post-Marley era\, along with Dennis Brown and Gregory Is
	aacs.\n\nReggae music legends and worldwide ambassadors of the music w
	ere born in the house of Studio One\, also known as the Motown of Musi
	c. McGregor\, along with other true reggae music pioneers\, collaborat
	ed on the Studio One project\, such as Bob Marley & The Wailers\, Denn
	is Brown\, Toots & The Maytals\, Burning Spear\, Lee "Scratch" Perry\,
	 and Marcia Griffiths. McGregor wrote some of his own material\, and g
	rew into an accomplished producer as well. His heyday was the early '8
	0s\, when he released several high-quality albums and reached the peak
	 of his popularity in Jamaica and England. However\, he remained a str
	ong presence on the reggae scene well into the new millennium.\n\nThe 
	WorldBeat Center continues bringing reggae l McGregor has spanned near
	ly every stylistic shift in Jamaican music\, from ska and rocksteady t
	o Rastafarian roots reggae to lovers rock. After slowing his pace in t
	he late '90s\, McGregor returned in 2000 with the acclaimed Signature\
	, which restored his typical balance of roots reggae and lovers rock.
