Gramps Morgan has opened up about his hit song ‘Wash the Tears’ a hit single he released a few days ago and how he came about in writing the song itself.

Gramps Morgan wrote the ‘Wash the Tears’ sing after he lost his mother back in 1988 to cancer and through his sister’s reminiscing about their late mother in 1999, he came up with the lyrics of the song.

Gramps Morgan who is a member of the Reggae group Morgan Heritage released the official song 11 years later.

Morgan Heritage band was formed in 1994 by five children of reggae artist Denroy Morgan, namely Peter “Peetah” Morgan, Una Morgan, Roy “Gramps” Morgan, Nakhamyah “Lukes” Morgan, and Memmalatel “Mr. Mojo” Morgan.

“My mother lost her battle with cancer in 1988.

In 1999 my sister was reminiscing her memory while we were on tour. Her emotions inspired the lyrics and melody for Wash the Tears.

Another 11 years later the song was released worldwide.

It has changed my life forever in more ways than one and, will always hold a special place in my heart.” Gramps Morgan said in part.

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
