From Rasta to Gospel, Mowatt has thrilled

Christian artiste one of the headliners at A Blessing for Fathers

The sounds of gospel icons will bless fathers countrywide when Judy Mowatt, belts out those sounds that men worldwide have come to fall in love with. The event, A Blessing for Fathers; the venue, the King's House West Lawn; the cost, well worth it.

The gospel music Mowatt belts out today wasn't always what she preached though.

In 1967, Mowatt was part of a group called the Gaylettes but got her big break when she joined the I-Threes, the backing band of International Reggae star, Bob Marley in 1974.

A year later, she had her first song of note, A Tuff Gong-produced number called Mellow Mood.

By the time she did Something Old, Something New in 2002, she was an established star and she no longer sang revolution music, or reggae geared towards uplifting Rastafarians. She was now making music for the Lord and for Christians.

Mowatt's last secular song was Rock Me in 1993, as it was in the late 1990s that she decided to make the transition.

Her songs were now replaced with songs like Thank You Lord, Bob Marley, the I Threes, and her usual company, with that of Andrae and Sandra Couch, Chevelle Franklyn, Violinist Nadje Leslie, and Jon Williams and Friends. Those are the names who will join Mowatt as headliners at A Blessing for Fathers.
