Two giants of lovers rock will be honoured at the second edition of ‘Lovers Rock: A Night of British Reggae’, which takes place on May 17 at Pon Top Seafood Grill & Bar in Kingston. The songs of singers Vivian Jones and Bitty McLean, who represent different eras of that genre, will be featured.

Jones, born in Trelawny, migrated to the United Kingdom in the late 1960s. He rose to prominence there during the 1970s with a blend of roots-reggae and ballads that announced the lovers rock movement.

Sugar Love and Strong Love were two of his many hit singles in the UK.
