9.8.2004 | comments

PRECIOUS WILSON is one of the pioneers of the UK black music revolution of the 1970’s and 80’s, alongside such artists as Junior Giscombe, Jazzy B (Soul 2 Soul), Heatwave, Loose Ends, Leee John (Imagination), Eddy Grant, Billy Ocean, Five Star, Incognito, Carroll Thompson and David Grant (Lynx).

She started her career as the lead singer of the Soul Disco group Eruption, and then later, as a solo artist. Precious Wilson will always be regarded with great affection as a stand-out act from that great era of popular music.

As a child, she was exposed to many musical influences, including, Country, R&B and Gospel. This combined with the home grown Jamaican music of Lovers Rock, Reggae and Calypso, contributed to her eclectic taste in popular music which is still very much with her to this day.

Precious moved to England as a young child, where she was exposed to other forms of music such including Classical, Pop, and Rock.

All of these elements have contributed to Precious’ sensual, soulful and exciting vocal style, which has become her trademark.

She continues to wow audiences with her performances internationally and has a very large fan base across much of continental and Eastern Europe, especially Russia.

In between shows, Precious Wilson is busy writing material for a new album which is scheduled for release next year.
