Top-flight reggae singer Richie Stephens will be in action tomorrow, (Saturday, March 2) at the popular Negril show venue called the Bourbon Beach.

He will be the featured act on an event dubbed Richie Stephens and Friends.

Richie Stephens began his career in the late 1980s but made his breakthrough in the early '90s by scoring a string of hits for various producers like Top Ranking, King Jammys, Steelie and Clevie, Danny Browne and Donovan Germaine.

Stephens, who is often referred to as the Golden Voice of Jamaica, was also a member of the internationally acclaimed R&B group, Soul II Soul, in the early 1990s. After severing ties with the legendary Motown Records in 1996, Stephens, who in the earlier part of his career concentrated on signing smooth ballads, created his Pot of Gold label and turned his focus to dancehall music.

A slew of hits soon followed, including songs such as Fight Back which was done with the late iconic reggae singer Garnett Silk. Another major hit for Stephens was the dancehall mega hit titled Maniac, which was a collaboration with another Jamaican music iconic figure, Bounty Killer.
