Prince Lincoln Thompson, known as Sax, was a Jamaican singer, musician and songwriter with the reggae band the Royal Rasses, and a member of the Rastafari movement. He was born June 18, 1949 in the west side of Kingston, Jamaica and died of cancer in London on January 23, 1999, five months before his 50th birthday. He was noted for his high falsetto singing voice, very different from his spoken voice.
