How is it possible to discus a list of great Jamaicans without happening upon Andrew Salkey?

“Ditto” Lady Di and Jacqui. Shaggy is a hard working artist who supports many newcomers into the business. His involvement with charities, especially the Childrens Bustamante Hospital, is invaluable. He really should have been included in the list ……not saying others dont deserve to be there, just that HE should have been one of them !

Quite surprised & dissapointed that Shaggy isnt on the list especially as he’s a World reknown Reggae Artist for his music and involvement in the supporting the Jamaican Reggae scene & charity work with the Childrens hospital!!

I sure would have loved to see Reggae Artist Shaggy in this list. Only Diamond (larger than Gold) selling Caribbean/Reggae artist to date, that I know of. Him and his musical team give much support yearly to the Bustamante Hospital which is a tremendous aid to the children and their families who utilize it. So much more I could add but these are just my thoughts as a long time supporter of his.

There are several dancers on this list: Rex Nettleford and Mr. Bogle. Also lots of actors, politicians, artists, scholars, authors, athletes. Jamaica excels in music so there were just some names that couldn’t be left off. Architects not so much but if there’s some we’re remiss in not including, by all means let us know.

Thought provoking, but the more I think about the selections I wonder…was there not a chef, dancer, architect, etc. that could have made this list which is heavy on music…

Fastinating – a learning experience, but difficult to page thru…
