About CALTON COFFIE Original badboy from Trenchtown
NEW: CALTON COFFIE: Grammy Winner
CALTON COFFIE
“Bad Boy Moves Outside The Circle”
New York - June 17, 2009 - Calton Coffie applied the finishing touches to yet another of the many tunes he had been perfecting. Like a newly minted Rolls Royce, the Delroy Wilson single “Rain from The Skies” rolls of the assembly line and into the hands of a few selected jocks. Within hours, the song is blasting on the radio and Internet and into the hearts of his hungry fans. They can’t get enough!
Coffie, a Grammy winner and the voice behind Fox TV show’s “Cops,” is still Reggae’s most played vocalist. His stealthy steps away from The Inner Circle of his former band mates finds him in the studio and totally immersed in the production of a plethora of new works. Preserving the music and memory of his mentor and friend, the late Delroy Wilson, is almost always a part of this routine. He is applying his personal touch to several Delroy Wilson tunes, the proceeds of which will go to the latter’s family.
According to Coffie it has been well recorded on how he and “Inner Circle" came together. "We achieved great things and new levels of international success in the ‘90’s”.
During those heady days, Coffie and the band became international icons and the frontmen for quality Reggae music. The “title track … was a number one hit in almost every European territory,” said the singer. “Sweat (a La La La La Long)” even broke the records of heavyweights, Michael Jackson, The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
His “Bad Boys” Grammy win and subsequent nomination for “Reggae Dancer” undoubtedly resulted from his multiple roles as writer, co-writer, composer and lead vocalist.
Coffie fell ill in 1995 and decided upon his recovery to pursue a solo journey. One that has brought fruition to the highly acclaimed albums, “A Hot Cup of Calton Coffie” and “Scandal”.
After his explosive international music presence, countless gold and platinum albums, four stars from Billboard as a composer, lead vocalist on several Box Office hits and internationally syndicated television and a much too lengthy respite that has hardly quelled the hunger of his fans; Calton Coffie, “The Original Bad Boy” is stepping out again.
Familiar but fresh, raw but refined, Calton Coffie is back!

.. Click here to make Falling Objects .. Born in London, Calton came to Kingston, Jamaica, at the age
of five, when his parents returned to their native country. There he
learned the Jamaican style made popular by Eric Monty Morris and Bob
Marley, and the R & B from the likes of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding,
Curtis Mayfield, Chuck Jackson and Marvin Gaye, although his first singing inspiration came from Paul Anka. Coffie came to the
United States in 1973. He served eight years in the U.S. Army before
leaving it to pursue his dream of a professional music career.
During the next two decades, he recorded eight albums, earned
numerous gold and platinum albums and singles, and set international
chart records. Following his 1993 Grammy Award for "Bad Boys," he
was again nominated for the album "Reggae Dancer" in 1994. He
currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Sharon and travel
between Jamaica and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
