One of the highlight moments of night 2 at Reggae Sumfest 2023 was the return of the reggae legend, Freddie McGregor, after suffering a scary stroke in Florida last year.
The captain, as he popularly referred to, was accompanied by the Big Ship family crew; his sons Daniel 'Chino' McGregor, Stephen 'Di Genius' McGregor, and his daughter Yashemabeth got to perform some of his big hits such as 'I Was Born A Winner', 'Africa Here I Come', 'Big Ship', 'To Be Poor Is Crime', 'Push Come To Shove' among others more with his children serving as background singers.
Sitting in a royal chair, the 67-year-old McGregor teared up as he thanked the audience and the Sumfest producers led by Joe Bogdanovich. "Last year when Mr. Bogdanovich asked me if I could do Sumfest, I told him I would try but with the Christ spirits, I'm here tonight, God is great. Thank you for the prayers and wishes, said the tearful artiste.
