YEARS AFTER WINNING, LEGENDARY MUSICIAN ANSEL COLLINS, TO RECEIVE GRAMMY CERTIFICATES!

Ansel Collins—

Reggae legend Ansel Collins received his first Grammy certificate, after nearly four decades, earlier this year.

After receiving his first Grammy certificate after nearly four decades earlier this year, reggae legend Ansel Collins is now looking forward to receiving four additional Grammy certificates, including a winner certificate for his work on the 1999 release Friends by Sly & Robbie.

In January of this year, the iconic keyboardist finally received his Grammy Award for Cliff Hanger, the album by Jimmy Cliff, which won the second Reggae Grammy in 1986.

Collins, one-half of the first male duo to top the British music charts (Dave & Ansel Collins), will be presented with his Grammy certificates at a special event organized by Collins’ publisher, the UK-based Back 2 Da Future Music Ltd.

With a career spanning more than over five decades, Collins has been a pivotal figure in the reggae music scene. His work with notable artistes and bands, including The Upsetters and The Aggrovators, has cemented his legacy as one of the most influential keyboard players in reggae history.

“It is a great honor for me to finally receive these recognitions that I have been looking forward to for a long time,” said a grateful Collins. “It has been a long journey, but these Grammy certificates are a testament to the enduring power of reggae music and the incredible artistes I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years.”
