That said, even the greatest detractors of the new dancehall trends found it difficult to object to Paul’s many obvious musical qualities, which stood in contrast to the thin talents of some other artists of the period, many of whom quickly began to focus on singing about guns, crime and sexual slackness. From the mid 90s onwards, Paul largely lived in the Gambia, where he had made a home after performing there. He was dogged by ill health in the last few years of his life and had returned to Jamaica before his death. His last public performance came that year in Jamaica and he released an album, Frankie Paul Sings Dennis Brown, early this year. He is survived by six children and four grandchildren, and by six sisters and three brothers.
