Maxi Priest cover of John Mclean If I Gave My Heart To You

John McLean was born in Hammersmith in the early sixties into a large family. John began his singing career from the very early age of 7 years in the choir of the school he attended. His voice was considered so good that he often was the soloist in choir performances.
During 1987, John visited Ariwa Studios with his manager Sinbad, the result of which was his debut single for the label called 'If I gave my heart to you' which when at first heard by Mad Professor, had the makings of a hit. These thoughts proved correct for the record rose to No 1 in the Reggae charts and has entered the national charts. John has since has the release of his first album "Bowled Over" which again shows his versatility and writing ability.
