Denroy Morgan First Jamaican Artiste to be signed to a Major Record Label.
June 7, 2022 | VPAL Music |
The father of Grammy award-winning sibling group Morgan Heritage, as well as LMS, Denroy Morgan established a track record of releasing Billboard chart-topping hits beginning with “I’ll Do Anything For You” and his album of the same name in 1981. He signed a deal with RCA in 1984, making him the first Jamaican recording artiste to be signed to a major record label.
In 1965 at the age of 19 he was part of the formation of the Black Eagles, a New York City reggae band in the 1970s; he then launched a prosperous solo career in the 1980s onwards.
Last year, Morgan released his first book, From the Cross to the Throne, a novel that explores Rastafari, the religion, and Rasta ‘livity’. He established his own Abrahamic Covenant Family Ministry, which goes live on Facebook every Saturday from his Hilltop Tabernacle in Port Morant, St Thomas.
