Biography

Reggae singer Sanchez was born Kevin Anthony Jackson in Kingston, Jamaica on November 30, 1964. A member of his church choir throughout adolescence, he became immersed in reggae while in high school, and was eventually named the selector for the local Rambo Sound System. In time, Sanchez turned to singing as well, and in 1987 issued his debut single "Lady in Red"; a year later, he scored a major hit with the Winston Riley-produced "Loneliness." Known for his silky vocals and penchant for pop covers (including a smash rendition of Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You"), his many albums include 1989's Promises For The Imperfect, 1993's Tell It Like It Is, 1995's Praise Him, and 1999's The True False Identity. He released Songs From The Heart in mid-2000. His gospel album, He's Got The Power, would follow in 2003, while his 2010 effort Now and Forever: The Hits was a return to secular music. Filled with cover versions of R&B classics, Love You More arrived in 2011. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

    Lyrics
    There are lots of signs in life, some that you may not like
    You could be living this minute, the next minute you are gone away
    Hold up your head my brothers, be conscious my sisters
    And by your works you shall surely be paid
    Never try fi dis the man with the handle, the one who's got the title
