Horace Andy

On one of my episodes

Horace Andy. Jamaican reggae singer, nicknamed Sleepy. Coxsone Dodd gave him his stage name, a nod to the singer Bob Andy. His early-'70s song 'Skylarking' went to No. 1 in Jamaica and became his signature. In 1990 he started working with Massive Attack, and here's the thing: of all their guest singers, he's the only one on every album they've made. 'Angel' grew out of his own earlier song, 'You Are My Angel,' and that's his voice carrying it. In 2022 he made Midnight Rocker with Adrian Sherwood.

Fact-checked Oct 4, 2026.
