Beres Hammond: A Premier Lovers Rock Artist

One of the premier lovers rock artists to emerge out of Jamaica following the genre's late-'70s/early-'80s boom, Beres Hammond has established thereafter as a hitmaker with a soul-driven vocal style indebted to classic rocksteady and American R&B.

Early Career and Notable Hits

From his early days as lead singer of Zap Pow to chart-topping solo hits like 1985's "What One Dance Can Do" and the massive 1990 dancehall smash "Tempting to Touch," Hammond earned a reputation as romantic frontman, songwriter, and collaborator who could cross over into more socially conscious roots reggae, hip-hop fusion, and straight-ahead R&B.
