OLDIES SUNDAY: Prince Far I – Jamaican Heroes (1980)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Tomorrow (October 21) will be celebrated as “National Heroes Day” in Jamaica. The yearly event recognizes the works of those who fought for our freedom, and highlights the everyday hero who has made sacrifices over the years, and those who have contributed to our progress as a nation. Jamaican music has boasted its share of heroes who have helped to advance the culture, and we recognize one of them on “Oldies Sunday“. His name is Prince Far I, and we feature his track, “Jamaican Heroes“.

The self-produced “Jamaican Heroes” was released through Trojan Records in 1980, and it found Prince Far I saluting the Jamaicans who we now know as national heroes. The 6 heroes and 1 heroine started revolutions, fought to hold high positions that would make Jamaica becoming Independent a reality, and helped to make the Island a shining jewel in the world. Far I delivered solid words over a solid production, and had the assistance of backup Vocalists throughout. “Jamaican Heroes” was featured on the 1980 album of the same name, and was one of his well-recognized tunes.

Since the release of “Jamaican Heroes”, Prince Far I would go on to release and produce more music, and perform in various parts of the world. Sadly on September 15, 1983, he would tragically lose his life in the aftermath of a robbery in his home. “The Voice Of Thunder“, as he was sometimes called, would be an influence to many Reggae Artists over the years. “Jamaican Heroes” is still played in parts of the world today.

Salute Our Heroes! Thank You Prince Far I For This Great Song!
