Reggae and R&B/Soul
A.k.a. Herman St. Joseph Lowes Bread (10)
The Mighty Bread (Herman St. Joseph Lowes) began his career in 1972 (according to the liner notes of his "Soca Fever" album). He won two calypso crowns and toured the world. Bread recorded sporadically in the West Indies, New York, and Toronto between the 1970s and the 1990s. There were often significant gaps between his releases - for instance, HJL-006 ("Run to the Sun") came out in 1981 in New York, while his next release HJL-007 ("Soca Fever") came out in 1984 in Canada. "Bread as he is known in calypso and steelband circles, derived his name because he always thought of money as Bread, and it is thought of by all as power, therefore, he thought that his Calypso name should be Mighty Bread." - Louie Jarvis, "Soca Fever" liner notes, 1984.
