Horace Andy, born Horace Keith Hinds on February 19, 1951 in Kingston, Jamaica, is a renowned roots reggae songwriter and singer. With his distinctive vocals, he has recorded for numerous Jamaican producers and labels throughout the 1970s and 1980s. His collaborations with Bristol's trip hop band Massive Attack have brought him recognition from the mainstream public. As the cousin of Justin Hinds, he was given the name Horace Andy by Bob Andy.
Horace Andy's career as a roots reggae artist spans several decades. He has worked with notable Jamaican producers such as Studio One, Bunny Lee, Phil Pratt, Derrick Harriott, Keith Hudson, Tapper Zukie, and more. His unique vocal style sets him apart from other artists in the genre.
In addition to his success within the reggae community, Horace Andy gained wider recognition through his collaborations with Massive Attack. These collaborations introduced his music to a broader audience and solidified his status as an influential figure in both reggae and trip hop genres.

Horace Andy's work with producer Bunny Lee in the 70's is where most of his hits and from this stable of work, Kingston Sounds have compiled this set. Some of his late 60's classics were re-cut in the popular 1970s style, working with the rhythm kings themselves, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. They have added some shine to the tracks, Something on my Mind and Skylarking and made them hits all over again. Such was Horace's delivery to the covers he sang like Delroy Wilson's version of the Tams Riding For a Fall, the Heptones My Guiding Star, John Holt's Man Next Door and Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine, that these fine tunes were made his own. The roots end of his musical style was covered by Andy originals such as You Are my Angel, Zion Gate, Money Money and the cut which Kingston Sounds have taken their edited title, the timeless Just Say Who. A bass heavy cut to Bob Marley's Natural Mystic works so well in this style also.
