Calton Coffie
Calton Coffie (born ?) is a Jamaican vocalist who rose to prominence for his work in the Jamaican-based recording act Inner Circle, but had also recorded as a vocal soloist.[1]
He was active in the reggae group from 1986 to 1994, when he began performing under the moniker Hot Cup of Coffie, based in the United Kingdom. For a brief period, his career was put on hold due to health problems.[2] Coffie is perhaps best known for providing vocals for their smash hit single Sweat (A La La La La Long), which entered the European charts upon its release.[3] His 4 decade long career proclaimed him 1 Grammy Award win and 2 nominations, for Sweat (A La La La La Long), Bad Boys and Reggae Dancer.[4][5]
Little is known about Coffie, and his activity in the music business has faltered.
