Wow!!! What a tragedy! One of the Bahamas' greatest: I grew up partying to Johnny Kemp music @ Waterloo, Club Mystique, Confetti's and the Zoo!-Knew some of his family members well. I also had the opportunity to talk with him. He was a great entertainer! Condolences to all of his family.

That is very sad. Though like most young people at the time, I sang his hit song as 'Just got laid'.
