Tony Chin, the renowned Jamaican guitarist and co-founding member of the iconic Soul Syndicate band, proudly presents his 7th solo album. Titled "Tribute To The Late Great Delroy Wilson In The Style Of Tony Chin”, this album showcases Tony's unique interpretation of songs from the legendary Jamaican artist. This musical journey is a testament to Tony's authenticity, as he pays homage to the late, great Delroy Wilson in his own distinct style.
Delroy Wilson, one of Jamaica's most soulful singers, carved a legacy in the music industry with a 40-year career, delivering countless hits and numerous masterpieces. Born on October 5, 1948, in Trenchtown, Kingston, Wilson's extraordinary talent was his escape from the ghetto. In 1994, his enduring contribution to Jamaican music was honoured with a special plaque from the Jamaican government, presented by Prime Minister Patterson. Despite sporadic recording sessions in the early '90s, his declining health was apparent. Regrettably, Wilson passed away due to liver cirrhosis on March 6, 1995.
