Several years ago, I-too was surprised to learn/discover how-much CelineDion's music is loved in Jamaica. Even the pickneys knew the lyrics to her songs.

i'm reminded, that sometime(?) over the past year or so, she was-scheduled-to and/or had a concert in Jamaica. The Gleanor/Observer media-hype & on-island interest was tremendous. It was as if a major head of state, the Pope, or TheQueen was coming.

another VERY popular-artist is Babyface ---- i *think* it's the infectious rhythm/beat that's ever-present in his songs.

Also there's a strong affinity for Chicago-style '..Steppin..' music.

and a *certain* type of gospel-music, too ---- i'm still analyzing to determine the trend and/or preferred commonality of their gospel preference(s).
