==Biography==
McKay, born in Saint Catherine Parish, Jamaica, is regarded as one of the most soulful singers to come out of Jamaica.〔Foster, Chuck (1999) ''Roots Rock Reggae'', Bilboard Books, ISBN 0-8230-7831-0, p.260〕 McKay first recorded for producer Prince Buster in 1967, his first hit coming the same year with "Love Is A Treasure", recorded for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle set-up.〔Larkin, Colin: "The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae", 1998, Virgin Books, ISBN 0-7535-0242-9〕 McKay then enjoyed a fruitful spell with Coxsone Dodd, recording a number of popular songs for Studio One backed by The Soul Defenders,〔Barrow, Steve & Dalton, Peter: "Reggae: The Rough Guide", 1997, Rough Guides, ISBN 1-85828-247-0〕 including "High School Dance", "Sweet You Sour You", and "Picture On The Wall", the latter the title track of his 1971 debut album.〔 A second album, ''Lonely Man'' followed in 1974. McKay recorded a duet with Horace Andy in 1975, "Talking Love" which was also a hit in Jamaica.〔Thompson, Dave:"Reggae & Caribbean Music", 2002, Backbeat Books, ISBN 0-87930-655-6〕 McKay enjoyed another hit in 1976 with "Dance This Ya Festival", which won the ''Jamaican Independence Popular Song Contest'' that year.〔 McKay teamed up with Alvin Ranglin for the misleadingly titled ''The Best Of Freddie McKay'' (it was an album of new recordings) in 1977, McKay now adapting to the prevailing roots reggae style. The Ossie Hibbert-produced showcase album ''Creation'' followed in 1979, and ''Tribal Inna Yard'' in 1983.
McKay maintained a faithful following until his death in 1986〔 from a heart attack,〔 shortly after finishing his final album, ''I'm a Free Man''.〔
His son, Andrew Chin, is an Internet celebrity known under the pseudonym "Brushy One String", because of his music made with a one-string guitar.
