Artist:Luciano f/The Jungle Brothers
Song:Who Could It Be
Album:Where There Is Life
The 1995 album Where There Is Life and the single Who Could It Be was an attempt to market Jamaican singer Jepther "Luciano" McClymont to an international audience. He was already a star in Jamaica. He was born Oct. 20, 1964 in Davyton, Jamaica. He grew up singing in church and moved to Kingston to become a professional singer. He started recording in the early 90s and was given the name Luciano by a record producer. Luciano scored a #1 hit in England with the 1993 single Shake It Up Tonight. But he seemed to have his greatest success working with Xtermintor Records owner Philip "Fatis" Burrell with singles like Chant Out and Pure and Simple in 1993. Island Records owner Chris Blackwell approached Burrell about recording a Luciano album that could be marketed internationally. The result was the 1995 album Where There Is Life featuring the single Who Could It Be featuring rappers The Jungle Brothers. Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare played on the album and Dancehall singer Terror Fabulous was a guest artist. This album is available as a budget CD. Luciano continued to work with Burrell until 1999. Luciano has since recorded for Jet Star and VP Records. His 2001 album A New Day was nominated for a Grammy. That album was produced by veteran saxophonist Dean Fraser. Luciano continues to work with Fraser and Sly and Robbie. His latest album was released in 2020 and he is currently on tour. Here's the video for Who Could It Be by Luciano featuring The Jungle Brothers.
