About Lloyd Lovindeer

Born 1948. Lloyd Lovindeer is a Jamaican singer.

Lloyd George Lovindeer (born 15 June 1948), often credited simply as Lovindeer, is a Jamaican dancehall deejay, best known for his song "Wild Gilbert".

Career Born in Kingston, Lloyd George Lovindeer spent some of his childhood in Ewarton in St Catherine. He attended Kingston College and on leaving formed The Fabulous Flames with friends, the group releasing their first single, "Holly Holy", in 1971. The group split up in the mid-1970s and Lovindeer began a solo career while living in Canada between 1976 and 1982. The song also appeared on his album Why Don't We All Have Sex, which included another Gilbert-themed track, "Gilbert – One Hell of a Blow-Job", and the hurricane theme continued on his 1989 album Gilbert Yu Gone. He followed it with hits such as "Pocomonia Day", which along with the 1989 album One Day Christian triggered a spate of "Poco style" releases based on rhythms from Pukumina religious songs.

His latest album, Jamaica: Land of the One Love People, featuring contributions from Judy Mowatt, Kiprich, Singing Melody, Tarrus Riley, and Lady G, was released in August 2013.
