Maxi by Maxi Priest
Maxi is an album by Maxi Priest, released in 1987. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Wild World”, on 9 lists with a best position of #11.
Maxi, the third album from British reggae singer Maxi Priest, came out in 1987, with North American copies simply titled Maxi Priest. Rhythm kings Sly and Robbie produced it, and the pairing makes sense: Priest's smooth, soulful voice rides their rolling, supple grooves, blending reggae with R&B in the reggae fusion style he became known for.
The singles show the range: "Some Guys Have All the Luck" and "How Can We Ease the Pain?", "Goodbye to Love Again" and a lilting, sun-warmed "Wild World", the one that has lingered longest on the countdowns.
