\nDancehall and clash fans are sure to remember Shine Head’s version of
\nBilly Jean, which many sounds used as a big dub at dances. Little Kirk’s performed a rendition of man in the mirror
\nlive at Sting. Whatever comes to mind, we can clearly see how Michael
\nJackson impacted reggae music. Here is a short list of artists who has covered Michael Jackson’s songs. Sanchez, Yellow
\nman\/ Peter Metro, Ghost, Wayne wonder\/Buju Banton, Jr Reid, Duane
\nStephenson, Taurus Riley, Garnet Silk, Sugar Minott. We are sure you
\ncan add to this list if you thought about it for a moment.\n<\/p>\n
\nMarathon Reggae Session:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \nLast Saturday (4th July) we witnessed a marathon session of live Michael Jackson the “King of Pop” gave us forty five (45) years of
\nreggae music in Va. Beach. The session showcased the Itations Band
\nbacking the Sons of Thunder and Jomo P. The event kicked off a little
\nbit after 4 pm. with BlackStarliner sounds blazing music for 3 non stop
\nhours. The Itations band then took over and proceeded to play an extended set and we enjoyed it to the maximum. After their
\nlengthy spirited performance, they had energy to back JahgGub for two songs and Gravity, who did a hip hop stint which was quite
\nrefreshing. A short break with BlackStarliner kept patrons entertained
\nas Sons of Thunder prepared and then took the floor by storm, performing
\nhits upon hits. Their long awaited album should be out shortly, we
\nhope! The next break was short and it was time for Jomo P, the final
\nact. A veteran artist, Jomo did his thing as only he can, with tunes
\nafter tune, and hits upon hits. We finally left the venue a little
\nafter 1 am and the show was still going strong. We applaud the Itations
\nband for being so dedicated to their music. You should have been there
\nto witness this marathon Reggae session. By the way it was absolutely
\nfree.<\/p>\n
