After a long hiatus, Oldies Sunday is back!
Today’s Oldies Sunday entry comes from the Reggae Band, Third World.

Watch the annual staging of Shaggy & Friends below. Be sure to support the cause by following the instructions below the live stream.
Shaggy really had the vision. With Tessanne’s recent success, it’s only right that we hear Shaggy’s take on all this with Onstage. Here Shaggy spoke on being a part of Tessanne’s decision to enter The Voice, her win, the future of her career, and of course his upcoming staging of his “Shaggy and Friends” concert. Short but a good interview, I really commend Shaggy on seeing the good in artists and being able to help them achieve success. With the Bustamante Hospital For Children seeing 50 years since its existence and Tessanne being a headliner, this concert shall be an unforgettable one. Check out the interview below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
