Sanchez

Born Kevin Jackson in Kingston, Jamaica, Sanchez built his name on a voice that stayed smooth and tender when most of his peers were getting rougher. Through the late 1980s and 1990s he became one of Jamaica's best-loved ballad singers, with songs like "Lady in Red" and "Frenzy," moving easily between reggae love songs and the gospel side of his catalogue. That mix of romance and faith, all delivered in that gentle, unhurried tone, is what has kept his records close to Jamaican listeners for decades.
