Freddie McGregor (born 27 June 1956, Clarendon, Jamaica) has been variously a singer, musician and producer. His music career began when he was seven years old. In 1963 he joined with Ernest Wilson and Peter Austin to form The Clarendonians, and began to record for the Studio One label. He was only seven years old at the time and was known as 'Little Freddie'. He was also a member of the Generation Gap. McGregor converted to Rastafari in 1975. He is a member of the Twelve Tribes organisation.

Freddie McGregor's Studio One debut, 'Bobby Bobylon,' is considered one of the key ingredients for a great reggae record collection.

Freddie McGregor Sings Jamaican Classics.

Although Freddie McGregor began recording for Studio One in the '60s, first as a member of the Clarendonians and subsequently as a solo artist throughout the next decade, producer Coxsone Dodd didn't get around to giving the singer a full-length until 1980. But it was well worth the wait, for Bobby Bobylon was a classic. Half the album updates old singles to great effect and the rest is new, in the Jamaican sense of the word, for the numbers resurrected a clutch of Studio One gems that were revised and given new lyrics.

Freddie McGregor’s Studio One debut album from 1980, Bobby Bobylon, is considered one of the key ingredients for a great reggae record collection, capturing the dynamic singer early in his career. Although producer Niney The Observer had already released his debut set entitled Mr. McGregor, it was his Studio One debut album that brought him his greatest recognition to that point and catapulted him to star status in Jamaica.
