In the '80s, Jamaica's veteran vocalists really were All in the Same Boat, and a leaky one at that, pushed out to sea by the DJs who now commanded the island's attention and affection.
Many vocal groups called it a day, singers relocated abroad hoping to jump start their career in more amenable climes, and others decided to stay home but turned their attention to the international market.
Freddie McGregor followed this latter course, and began openly courting stateside fans, although his first foray into the States was with the thoroughly Jamaican set Come On Over.
The Boat, however, arrived decked in a crossover sound -- a reggae light styling with lush arrangements and plush production, even though its passengers were all Jamaican.
