Clinton Fearon

This Morning

CHAPTER 2. CD/DL/LP

More meaningful sounds from the former Gladiator.

Although typically relegated to backing vocalist in roots reggae trio The Gladiators, when Clinton Fearon sang lead, his deep tenor always imparted something outstanding. It is hard to believe this is actually his 11th solo offering, and despite already reaching 65 years of age, his voice is completely undiminished, retaining all the nuanced appeal that permeates his most popular work. As he supports the Black Lives Matter campaign on No Justice, questions the monetisation of herb on Doctor Say and reminds of the unity of mankind on the moving Wi A One, Fearon’s is precisely the kind of voice we need right now, challenging the oppressive powers that seek to curtail our existence by unjust means; he also supplies the guitar, bass and percussion, making This Morning very much a Clinton Fearon vehicle.
