Artists and fans say goodbye to Frankie Paul, known as Jamaica's 'Stevie Wonder'!
Jamaican Frankie Paul forged a brilliant career. Around the world he was known as the Stevie Wonder of Jamaica, since he was born without sight. Born in 1965, Paul recently left us at age 51, on May 18, 2017. On June 17, friends, artists, government leaders and fans paid their final tribute at the artist's funeral.
(Listen to "Fire De A Mus Mus Tail")
The ceremony took place at Olson Memorial Church on Hope Road, Jamaica, with the presence of artists such as Luciano, George Nooks, Charly Chaplin, Bongo Herman, Half Pint and Frankie Paul's first manager — Copeland Forbes, as well as Minister of Culture, Entertainment and Sports Olivia Grange, who delivered an emotional speech to the audience present.
