May 27th, 2010 | 
Author: By: Sophia McKay … New Image Promotions
Stevie Face recently released a compelling, emotionally touching video for his “Computer” Paul Henton produced hit single “In the living years,” which was originally done by the American group Mike and the Mechanics. This lead off track from the album “Tell it like it is” has been creating waves internationally and has topped several charts as well as contributed to Stevie being voted best reggae singer for 2009 in the UK.
The video was premiered in the USA on Tempo as well as on BET Jazz, where it gained a coveted rotation spot (which is very rare for a locally produced video) and is running concurrently on 24 Cable Channels across the Caribbean, East and West Africa, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Not withstanding, the video was also simultaneously premiered locally on the high profile CVM show Onstage programme last week, and is already in heavy rotation on the top local video stations including RETV, Hype TV, Suzy Q’s Video Alley, and several others islandwide.

Delveland Mango Festival 2010
The annual Delveland Mango Festival in Delveland, Westmoreland Jamaica will be held on Sunday May 30, in the community. The event is a community based project which was initiated to showcase creative ways of using the fruit. Mango is a seasonal fruit and this time of the year the fruit is harvested all over Jamaica. Delveland is known for and has become very popular because of the abundance of Graham Mango plants in the community. It was with this realization that the community decided to host this event to invite mango lovers to the community to let them see how mango can be utilized in various ways to make enjoyable, delicious by-products.
Of all the display booths that will be at the event I’m sure most patrons will be checking out the Boston Style Jerk Mango Dish, which will be introduced for the first time in the history of the festival. Think about Boston Style Jerk chicken and pork, which is very popular and craved by Jamaicans and visitors to the Island and imagine what it would be like to finally taste Graham and other mangoes prepared to wet the appetite and the taste buds.
In addition to the mango displays, a family oriented entertainment package is included in the list of activities for patrons to be entertained while consuming graham mango and it by-products. This year’s staging will feature: Read the rest of this entry »
Ernie Smith Biography
Ernie Smith (born Glenroy Anthony Michael Archangelo Smith, c.1948, Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae singer, with a deep baritone voice, who had his greatest success in the late 1960s and 1970s.
Smith was born in Kingston and raised in St. Ann. He initially (unsuccessfully) sought a career as a radio announcer, but then approached Federal Studios looking for work as a songwriter, ending up recording his songs himself. Recording initially in an easy listening style, Smith’s first chart success came in the late 1960s with “Bend Down”, which was followed by Jamaican number one hits in “Ride On Sammy,” “One Dream,” and “Pitta Patta”, all produced by Richard Khouri at Federal, the latter based on Lee “Scratch” Perry’s “Musical Transplant” rhythm, which was voted the best song of the year in Swing magazine. In 1972, he won the Yamaha Music Festival in Japan with “Life Is Just For Living”, a song originally written for a Red Stripe commercial. Read the rest of this entry »
