Michael George Haynes (3 March 1957 - 16 December 2017), known professionally as Michael Prophet, was a Jamaican roots reggae singer known for his "crying" tenor vocal style, whose recording career began in 1977.
Michael Prophet grew up in the western Kingston ghetto of Greenwich Farm. Twenty years later, one of the most distinctive and beautiful voices known in the whole reggae world started his recording career when he was discovered by the legendary producer Vivian Jackson, better known as Yabby You. Yabby You took him to Channel One for his debut single “Praise You Jah Jah”, a song he had written some five years earlier. It was with his version of The Heptones’ Studio One classic “Fight It To The Top” that he scored his first Jamaican hit.
A few weeks before he died, Michael Prophet was still dancing on stage during a show he did in the UK.
