- Frankie Paul is a dancehall singer that was influenced by Stevie Wonder.. he was also born blind and his love for music lead to his breakthrough. #reggae #jamaica #dancehall
I am a Gambian immigrant in the US ( 1990 to Present ) after several talks/conversations he decided to come stay with us to help him redeem what was left of the legacy / music. We flew him to the states on February 2014 and lived with us for a little over a month. We helped with medical assistance but Frankie must have seen the end. He wanted to go home at the risk of medical loosing what we setup for him, he qualified for free medical treatment, personal assistant. Unfortunately a few months ( my wife told him , you will die in Jamaica you are better off to get better medical attention ) he passed away. Frankie can see a little bit…. He taught me how to cook Oxtail and other dishes ( have hilarious videos …. HE IS FUNNY !!! Excellent sense of humor ! Good work Sir , he is happily resting with the ancestors. We still have his voice messages memorialized on our Land phone. We travel quite a bit & when the mailbox is full we erase all the messages but Frankie . It is eerie to visit his voice. Love & Respects.
Thanks for that information really appreciate the input.. blessings 🙏
I really respect the hospitality showed by you and your family, that was so nice of you.😊
Frankie Paul was a good singer I wouldn't called him great, he never reached up to that as Gregory Isaacs, Delroy Wilson's, John Holt, Alton Ellis, just to mentioned a few of great singers.I remember when he started out as young boy,he has a very good vocal.Most of his songs was covered version,a singer cannot great without several original hits songs,ok
@@blairboyd5617 he may be great to his fans & I’m not sure you alone can rate all these great musicians/legends . Your opinion is debatable ,but i will be foolish to debate you since you have your own personal views. Can we just enjoy the genre & stay away from comparisons ? Respectfully , it is easy to generate a fake handle & spew stuff out in cyber space with abandon. Love & Respects to all who contributed to Black culture including our allies from other Races.
The difference between you and those who without a doubt know that FP was a great, legendary singer.. is that you think greatness is measured by popularity and we know it is measured by skill and talent. Some of the artist you mentioned were not better singers than Frankie, they were just more marketable for the times they were in. Also, if you believe that Frankie did not have original tunes then it goes to show that you don't even know enough of his catalog to have a real say on his abilities.
Furthermore, singing covers (and singing them well and sometimes even better than the original artist) is a commendable talent (Look at Sanchez!). A lot of well known tunes are written by producers and writers and hardly ever solely by the artist themselves anyway!
That's like saying a chef cannot be great by having his own spin on well known meals.. or an athlete cannot be great because he hasn't invented his own sport. Come on now...

Frankie Paul!!! One of the greats Jamaican version of Stevie Wonder🥥🚦🌴 to see someone that is blind and still showing how talented he was is amazing. I think he deserves more credit than little bit his name is hardly being brought up and the industry should do more better in taking care of the artists that put in work.
🙏🙏🙏
Exactly and they bring out movie about bob marley they push bob marley because his dad is white but they don’t push all the black greats of reggae
@@user-rl8jx5wv1i What guy is talking a lot of bullshit about Bob Marley and, his father is a white man. If you outside people don't know what you are talking,then you should shut your damn mouths. Because you are not from Jamaica to know what you are talking your trash 🗑️, because there are several black Jamaican singers. Did movies decades ago long before Bob Marley, just got a movie. Jimmy Cliff did his first movie in about 1973 , Rockers was done in 1978 , with a lot of black singers in it. So if you don't know what you are talking about Bob Marley,then you guys should shut your damn mouths. Bob Marley was born in Jamaica,of a bi racial couple.What I realized that people who was not born in Jamaica, they are trying to take over our business and. They know more than who is born and grew up there, with their damn insulting words. We don't owes none of you guys anything, so you need to stay out of our business.
Frankie Paul Really made Jamaica Proud 💯 salut legend
Definitely 💯. A very talented young man
Big up police.
Still one of the very best reggae icon/legend
I’m a kid from the US who only recently got into Dancehall as recently as of last year. I’m loving everything I’m hearing, but I always enjoy the stories behind the artists in any medium. Frankie Paul is incredible! 💚💛🖤
💯💯💯🙏
2024 & Frankie Paul is still one of my fave Reggae Superstars ever. Thanks for the video - Blessings!!
🙏🙏💯
Honestly my opinion Frankie voice is a cut above most
Facts 💯
His voice is above all.
Absolutely
Nothing but respect for the great FP.
A real underrated Star.
Frankie Paul and Supercat had some amazing sessions on the sound system they toured together.
🔥🙏
More than a reggae singer, he’s a great singer full stop
🙏
Sad that Jamaicans would stone a legend like Frankie Paul...I was surprised to realize how little Jamaicans these days even k ow about Bob Marley before the movie...foreigners know more...we need to be better gate keepers of our history
Very very said situation
Frankie Paul is truly in the top 5 singers in Jamaica
Definitely
Gambia is known as little jamaica.
Frankie Paul’s voice was one of a kind, extremely talented. Disappointed 😢 he died in so much pain.
Yea messed up
Frankie Paul was one of the best including D Brown and Gregory Isach…Theeeee Best,unique voice still listening to his song.🙏🙏🙏
Blessings 💯
Love ❤️ love F.P saw him 4x in concert brilliant singer when he finished singing he didn’t want to leave the stage they would have to guide him off the stage and he would come back on stage singing..rest in eternal peace F.P
💯💯💯💯
Rich distinctive voice....as Beresford Hammond and Garnett Silk though in different ways.
💯💯💯
Frankie's voice stand out from the rest, only a potty we lose such a good singer/artist
True 💯💯
I never once hear a Frankie Paul tune that was not absolute quality and style. He was an extraordinary talent, that till this day I still listen to. "Back to Old Times", "Israel", "Leggo Di Vibes", "Ram Dancehall"... The man was just amazing. I really really appreciate this video. Forever my artist. Nuff respect.
Definitely 💯
His voice is like silk smooth and soothing
💯💯💯
The first time I hear Frankie Paul was *"Pass The Tu Sheng Peng"* in 1984, when the tune and riddim went massive, went No1 in the UK Reggae Charts and ressurrected the old Studio One riddim by Jackie Mittoo, *"Darker Shade Of Black."* One of the baddest singers to come from JA to this day. RIP, my yute.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Ok seen seen
All these years I thought he was saying Pass The Cush Sheng Peng 😅😅😅😅😅
I had the privilege of seeing him perform at SOBs in Manhattan, NYC. The following year he passed away 😢
🙏
Great artist! Saw him perform many times! ❤️💚💛
🙏
Such a humble soul. Rest in power Franky.
How can u even think 2 raise a stone 2 a blind man
Makes you wonder 💭
Omg, I didn’t know they stoned Frankie Paul off the stage. How disrespectful, this guy was one of most and best talented artist in. With the biggest and one of the best voices in Jamaica’s Reggae and dance hall music, and they’re going to stoned this man. These people all they want to hear is gun songs. It’s sad 😔 rip Frankie 🙏🏽
Was a messed up situation for real
I remember in the 80s 1 month Frankie had over 20 songs released in that month to blow wow .
Him over do it 😅🔥🔥
No not him THEY .I clearly remember Barry G .talking about it on a radio show .
Frankie Paul was one of the greatest singers the world as ever heard he had his own sound you would know it was Frankie coming in trus me.. very unique to other artists he was in a category all on his own if you comparing. Golden voice never hear a voice as crisp n silky smooth again. God bless him and family n one day soon I pray we get to hear that voice in the new kingdom.. once I heard that voice I was hooked ❤ but am also a Dennis Gregory Freddie Sanchez fan too it’s a tough one they all up there for me they all didn’t get enough credit ❤ I thank God for real music pure love every time that’s what the world needs. Music don’t need to be slack or stupid to catch a vibe love is the message ❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Frankie did a stage show in the U.K. with Dennis Brown, when Frankie hit the stage he tore up the place. One of Jamaica’s greatest singers in any style, there will never be another FP.
The way he was treated upto his death was unforgivable, so many producers earned off FP & didn’t help him when he was suffering or attend his funeral, maximum respect to George Phang & a couple of other producers who turned up.
The benefit event in the U.K. to help Frankie get the leg he needed was a disaster, Frankie didn’t get a cent. To those who took the money, one day karma will reach you ten fold.
RIEP Paul Blake aka Frankie Dancehall Paul 🙏🏾
Facts 💯
His suffering and his death was very sad. He did not get the respect that he deserved and it was very terrible to see that not many people from the reggae fraternity showed up for his funeral.
Met Frankie Paul in June 2009 ...me and my then girlfriend where flying into mobay via boston and miami.....we switched planes in miami and whjle boarding I noticed paul walk on....he
s unmistakable ....I got a chance to chat with him for a few...he was going to be performing later that week and the Charela Inn in Negril...we stayed in negril for that week, but we missed in...RIP legend..

Thank you for sharing this valuable information about this legend. I didn't know he was blind. I am familiar with his voice. Watching this video, I am able to learn more about him. Thanks

How shameful and disgraceful disgusting to do that to a blind person I hope karma ketch each and everyone who took part in that despicable abuse and look what kind a rubbish dem a listen to now gosh
💯🙏
One of my favourite RUclips channels thank you
Blessings 🙏💯🙏
My favorite song from him is slow down....amazing sound
He did so many hit songs
@@wildlifegully48 yes indeed...sad to see what happened to him later in his life
to me his voice sounds more like a blend of Dennis brown and Beris Hammond with a touch of Tyrone Taylor from afar..what a gem he was
Legendary 🔥
My Singer
We have the group of Reggae Singers ...we have the group of Dancehall Singers ...then we have the group of singers who fits in both groups .Frankie Paul fell in both groups along side Pinchers ,Courtney Melody ,Sanchez and Barrington Levy .
Yep. Also Beres
🙏💯💯💯
Wayne Wonder could be said to fit this category too but he definitely lean more dancehall
I love your channel. Keep reminding and educating us❤
Thanks 🙏
Sara....storms operate in your eyes...
Ok
I really wish the business of the music was more beneficial to the hard-working artist back then. He could have benefitted better financially and certainly lived longer.
One more sad turnout
🙏💯
Great voice
Gwarn!!!!!!!! Top blogger 👌
😅
Frankie Paul boy that remained me when mi use have one little sound system, if yu naa string up wid Frankie Paul, yu sound naa seh notn
Real talk eno
Big up Frankie
Rip legend
🙏💯
This guy reminds me of young upcoming artist name nigyboy. Basically frankie paul being reincarnated Coming from an 25 yr old born Jamaican in the states, grew up on real Jamaican music from the past.
Yea for real 💯💯
Frankie reincarnated is a stretch. The kid has talent but is way too hype and the content of his lyrics are poor. I don't think he is worthy to be compared with FP.
Finally something on FP!
🙏💯
Pull is one of the greatest one out of all ❤❤❤
Real bad artist 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts 100%
Frankie paul is one of the best, only D Brown can test, jamaicans producers need to stop rob up the singers, too much greedy, jamaicans need to educate themselves morally and stop bring down each other, them stay so a yard and abroad, FP should have been treat better all a Jamaica
🙏🔥
BIG UP F P ❤❤❤
🙏💯
I grew up listening to him, he's one of the greats, am so touched by this story, I had no idea he was blind.
💯💯💯💯
Frakie dance Hall Paul..))
Yet still he was robbed of his money by jamaican producers .
As we're so many
.Disgrace
Sad sad
He came to London to do a show and the same promoters robbed him of his money .
Jah jah
🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️
💯🙏
Frankie Paul Dennis Emmanuel Brown Sanchez for me
Yow bro me want my documentary eno. 😂
💯💯🔥
That’s so sad! How disrespectful to stone the man of the stage!
It's hard tell his voice from Dennis Brown's
💯🙏
Most of these Jamaican artist are involved with Coke. Especially when they are nervous before they perform
It’s very sad
Seh something about the thieving producers
Dem dangerous eno
What curse to rob the blind
THEY ROBBED HIM "blind". It is a pity that GOD work is so mysterious, that HE ALLOWS THEM TO STILL ENJOY the spoils of their ill-gotten gains for too LONG. BUT, long run, and short WHAT?
It’s messed up for real
Long run
Short catch
Why Frankie wear a test glass and seh him blind 🤔
You watch the full video?
Anyone! Is it true FP married 3 wife's in Gambia before his passing?
Don’t think so
@@wildlifegully48 sounds like your not sure!
GREAT SINGER ASLO A KNOW RAINBOW 🌈 SPECIALIST
🤦🏽♂️ jah jah dat me always hear
I couldn't believe the first time I heard
@@user-by3ke5em5x YEP ME NEITHER. THATS WHY A CAAH RATE HIM
U must have been with Him to know that don't believe things U hear till U know the facts
@@piperbess3494 YOU MUST HAVE BEEN WITH ONE OF HIS LOVERS TO BE DEFENDING HIM SO VIGEROUSLY.
I WAS A MANAGER AT TERRY NOVA HOTEL BACK IN THE 90'S AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HE IS ALWAYS BOOKING THE ROOM WITH SOME YOUNG BOY AND EVERY TIME HE CHECKED OUT THE CLEANING STAFF USED TO COMPLAIN TO ME HOW THE ROOM SMELL LIKE SH!T. NOBODY WANTED TO CLEAN HIS ROOM.
THERE'S YOUR FACTS.
Wasn’t he blind ??
Sounds so much like Dennis Brown
🙏💯
@mr wildlife Frankie Paul is my real brother you should ask before you speak about my brother you stated thats my mom was married to my dad Lloyd clarke which is not correct my dad Raise my brother as his own son sir 🙏🙏
You missing the point of this video Fam, this video is to show respect to the legend.. most of the information I got is the same information that people have access to on the internet. Frankie Paul is a talented artiste and I will forever respect his legacy
Did Frankie have children?
@OneSweetDay489 yes he get children for sure ,,they all lives abroad 2 live here in America his first born & second, the others live in Canada & uk 🇬🇧
@wildlifegully48 I understand & respect you for the respect you show but you can't listen to what strangers saying ppls will say whatever they feel like saying ,nuff respect 💯 👌
Am just showing respect to one of my favorite artiste.. there are alot of things that I won’t get accurate, that’s the reason I ask people with more knowledge to leave a comment in the comments section.. am sorry if I offended you.
He died dirt poor, because he was ripped off by producers. He was very talented but badly managed 😢
Jah jah know star
