KINGSTON, Jamaica â During a 2017 interview with the Observer Online, Freddie McGregor recalled the day he knew his big break had come. He was listening to the final cut of Bobby Babylon, a song he recorded for producer, Clement Dodd, at Studio One.
âMissa Dodd sey, âJackson, a it dis, yuh nuh. Is a hit disâ,â said McGregor, who celebrates his 70th birthday on June 27.
