Jimmy Tucker’s Great Gifts of Heritage, Promoting Jamaica’s Cultural Heritage, Talents and ResourcesTucker is Jamaica’s first singing sensation whose brilliance has endured for more than fifty years. According to biographer Clyde Hoyte, “In Jimmy Tucker of Jamaica, the world, and particularly the history of vocal recorded music, has, for the first time, recordings and a story of a boy soprano – tenor, with celebrated recognition of more than fifty years of vocal excellence.” Shekinah - Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs.
Shekinah is a classical recording of some original sacred songs of Jamaica, including The Right Hand of God, the hymn song of the Caribbean Conference of Churches, How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings, Psalm 84; I Will Lift up Mine Eyes, Psalm 121, and Psalm 27 - The Lord is My Light.
The Great Gifts of Heritage is a series of musical and literary publications, CD and companion books, sung, written and produced by Jimmy Tucker, except the Jimmy Tucker Story by Clyde Hoyte. Each package in the series addresses a significant and fundamental theme of Jamaica’s cultural heritage.
On Earth Day 1990, Jimmy wrote:
I hold the view that the vital values of self-worth and self-confidence, in the character of a Nation, are best attained by a cultivated respect for The Rule of Law and the Practise of Equity.
In the case of Jamaica, these values of self-worth and self-confidence, are best attained from the cultivated strength of its families, ethnic and racial groups, in communities where there is respect for and promotion of essential retentions of a plural heritage.
It follows, therefore, that in the years ahead, it is from this matter of values, face to face with law, equity and the essential retentions of our plural heritage, that the prospects for civil, political, economic, social and cultural advancement of Jamaica will, of necessity, be worked out.
I believe that Jamaica, a small, yet important nation in the international community will have its true mission and destiny taken up…a mission and a destiny that have already been revealed from our courageous intellectual history and spiritual heritage.
Listen to music you will love. Be inspired as you share great moments in Jamaica’s history!
