K C White, the Jamaican singer best known for covering hits like “First Cut Is The Deepest” has sadly passed away. The passionate singer died last week in his home parish of Portland. According to reports, Inner Circle Band member and K C’s friend, Ian Lewis, said the singer was ill for some time before his death.
