Junior Delgado

Oscar Delgado Hibbert (25 August 1958 – 11 April 2005), better known as Junior Delgado, was a reggae singer, famed for his roots style.

Biography Born in 1958 in Kingston, Jamaica, Junior Hibbert (as he was then known) performed in talent shows before forming the group Time Unlimited in the early 1970s, the group recording for Lee Perry and Duke Reid and having a hit with "Reaction".

He recorded solo material in the mid-1970s with Rupie Edwards (both as Junior Hibbert and The Heaven Singers), and the group also recorded for Tommy Cowan and Bunny Lee before Hibbert left the group and began recording as Junior Delgado. He recorded with producer Prince Jammy and Augustus Pablo before starting to produce his own work in the early 1980s.

As well as working on his own music, Junior was also involved with the development of new artists such as Yami Bolo and the White Mice.

Delgado was the nephew of Alpha Boys School bandmaster and vibraphone player Lennie Hibbert.
