Maxi Priest

Reggae Superstar Maxi Priest ("Set the Night to Music")

Although not as familiar to the general public, Maxi Priest is a household name in the reggae world, along with other greats like Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff. As the reggae scene flourishes in the post-internet age, fans are increasingly drawn to legends like Priest, who earned his status by making music with authenticity and timeless appeal. In America, he's hit the charts with "Close To You," the Cat Stevens cover "Wild World" and the Roberta Flack duet "Set the Night to Music." Around the world, he's the second-most successful solo reggae artist of all time, trailing only Bob Marley. B.B. King's in New York City presents a concert filled with Maxi Priest's joyous brand of reggae infused with R&B and a heavy dose of charisma.
