Ah, what a divine, rich voice backed by luscious melodies! Hugh Beres Hammond was born the 9th of 10 children on August 28, 1955, in Annotto Bay, Saint Mary, Jamaica. Another artist who has been entertaining us for decades - more than 35 years - Hammond probably saw his greatest success in the 1990s. His passionate, soulful, romantic ballads establish him as one of the top Jamaican lovers' rock artists, appealing to young and old alike.
