Tenor Saw

Tenor Saw (born Clive Bright, February 11, 1966, Kingston, Jamaica) was a prominent dancehall singer in the 1980s. His best-known song was the 1985 hit "Ring the Alarm" on the "Stalag 17" riddim. Other well-known songs include "Roll Call" (1984, "Queen Majesty" riddim), "Pumpkin Belly" (1985, "Sleng Teng" riddim) and "Lots of Sign".

Tenor Saw was killed in a car accident in Houston, Texas in August 1988, at the age of 22.

Trivia

"Jailhouse" by Sublime is partially a cover of "Roll Call."

Jack Johnson's cover of Sublime's "Garden Grove" begins with him singing "Ring the Alarm"
