Some of The Best Reggae Singers: Marcia Griffiths, Ernie Smith and David Hinds

If you want to name someone in the reggae genre who has a great voice, you will have a number of talented reggae artistes who come to mind.

Disputing who the best reggae artiste is brings questions of who is the artiste with the best voice, greatest songs, finest performance style or best ranked albums.

Marcia Griffiths

She is known for producing music with Bob Marley and the I-Threes. She is also famous for the song, Electric Boogie/ Electric Slide, which was released on her album Carousel in 1990.
