On October 19, music lovers celebrated the 60th birthday of the late Jamaican Vocalist, Frankie Paul. Having made his transition in 2017, Paul was one of the go-to Singers in Dancehall and Reggae. Dubbed the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder” due to visual impairment, but a brilliant talent as a Singer, he became a star since his younger days, piling on hits, singles, and albums in his solid career. Today, we remember his exceptional talent, but also his knack for knocking out a Cover Song. Tune in to our new Playlist, “Cover Kings Vol. 3 – Frankie Paul“.
With the new “Cover Kings” Playlist, we highlight some of the many cover songs Frankie Paul released over the years. From covering Guy, Lionel Richie, Loose Ends, Bobby Brown, to covering fellow Jamaican Artists Dennis Brown and John Holt, Paul was a 1 of 1 talent. Listeners can reminisce on the first time they heard these songs, and for a moment forget about the stress of the world. We miss Frankie Paul on the scene, but he left behind a legacy that’s unmatched. Thank you Frankie Paul, and continue to sleep well.

Known for his cover songs on his Youtube Channel, Lucas DiPasquale’s popularity grew even more when he covered a medley of songs from Jamaica’s own Popcaan. Tonight, he joins the Onstage set for an Interview. Here he spoke on discovering Dancehall music and loving it, being in Jamaica for the first time, his very popular video, growing up in Canada, looking to further his music career, and studying media in College. He also performed the medley of Popcaan songs and other covers live. It’s good when people from other nationalities embrace Reggae and Dancehall music. They may not even understand Patois but they can sing every word. Much respect to Lucas, he got the official Onstage “Buss“!. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
